My friend Jessica sent me this email today. This is exactly what I needed. We are praying the Lord will see fit to take my dad soon. He is ready to go - has expressed this to us all. Now he's just waiting for God to come get him. It's been a long 3 days now. We thought he would be gone last night, but he's still here. Please pray for God's mercy.

Tell Uncle Richard we love him and we're praying for him! And you and Glenda too.
Wow, this was a good day for me to come by and say a prayer for you. Those are some beautiful thoughts, and I also love your verse over your doorway.
You stopped by for my SITS day at The Journey a while back, and I'm still wandering about returning the visits. All of the amazing blogs have been too interesting to hurry through, but I did want to say thanks!
God's blessings to you as you let go and grieve.
Know I'm praying for you and your family.. I wish I could do more. We Love you!
oh I forgot the most important part... I BELIEVE!!
You have been on mind a lot today, I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Waiting is a hard thing.
