A virtual thank you card.
It has been so amazing to witness the kindness of strangers out here in cyberspace. Since blogging about my dad and creating the blog for my mom to keep everyone updated on his progress, my dad has received hundreds of cards, handwritten letters, and postcards personally sent from all of you all over the WORLD! Everytime I visit my parent's place, the kitchen table and wall become more and more full of all of your love and prayers. I just wanted to say a special special special thank you to those who have taken the time to send him something in the snail mail. Seeing the goodness in your hearts and your concern, it has truly lifted his spirits and given him the joy to keep going and keep his attitude positive trusting in the Lord.
This Thursday, he goes in for a CAT scan to test the progress of the chemo if it is working to reduce the cancer cells or not. My parents and I are on pins and needles waiting for the results on Friday, so please continue to keep us in your prayers as we wait for the important news.
Though my mom can't respond to each one personally right now, in Christ's gracious love, we thank you with all of our hearts!

WOW. Seeing all these cards moved me...that says a great deal about your dad and you (that people love and respect you enough to care for those you care for). Your dad must feel so deeply touched to know that so many prayers are being wrapped around him daily.
Rachel- My dad has really felt so loved, it's been amazing to see the goodness in people's hearts through the cards. It helps keep him going and having faith!
Oh my gosh, that is incredible to see. It's so wonderful to know that there are a good hearted people out there to love up on your dad. My love goes out to all of you!
Scarlett, I am still praying for your dad and family.
.....if the kitchen table is that full, where do they eat??!!! That's a lot of cards. :)
Darice- Thanks for the love!
Denise- LOL, they usually eat on the kitchen bar that separates the kitchen from the breakfast area. :-)
Wow- seeing those cards just made me cry. My stepdad is battling lung cancer and chemo is really hard for him right now. I know how you feel :(
Kate- Awwww, you should start a card ministry for your step dad too! Keep praying for him, God has graced us with a miracle in my dad's favor, and I will pray for the same over your step father!
