Dad Update
I sat with Dad for several hours today. He's still tired and weak. The rehab place wants to discharge him. He wants to stay there. I think he's just afraid. I also think it's hard for him to rely on me because he sees me as his baby girl still. I don't know. It's very emotionally stressful.

I will pray for your father's strength and courage to return, Jess. Just remember you alone CANNOT be his Savior....only One can be that to Him and your whole purpose for being there may very well be to guide him in that specific direction...so he will know where to find strength and courage when you're not always right there beside him. I know you will follow your gut and do what's best for your dad. You, too, can be praying for direction in all these things, for your stress to be given over to Him and for you to have the confidence to do and say what needs to be done and said. You know who this is from, Toots. He is ALL we can rely on at such trying times as these....our own strength or the strength of others is never sufficient enough!! Promise me you'll take care of yourself while you are helping your dad....if you're not healthy you cannot help him...remember that! Allow time for yourself while there, too! Say hello to Wayne Newton for me..lol...
