an open letter to God

Dear God,

There is an acute shortage of good, decent people in this world.

My father is one of those good people.

Please don't make the world's shortage of good people even worse by taking him away from us.

Thank you. I know You have been with all of us every step of the way, for these past few days. We could not have made it without you.

Love you, God.

Love,
Stitch

Note to all of you guys out there:

Won't be around for a good long while. Dad is in the ICU of the hospital. His biopsy results came back as a very acute infection but non-malignant. The doctors are baffled. He has pneumonia, jaundice, an enlarged spleen and an anemia which they still can't figure out where on God's green earth is it coming from.

Please, please, please, pray for my father. All your prayers are helping him and us through these long difficult days.

Thanks and much love to you all - every time I open my LJ and see your messages of love and hope, I find the strength to keep going. And my mother appreciates it too.

Daddy

( The next 48 hours will be the longest of our lives. )
