To know you are loved eases your pain.

I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support that our family has received since my dad had his stroke on Tuesday. It was a severe left-sided CVA, which affected the part of his brain that controls speech and language. He is still mostly unresponsive and we are not sure about his prognosis yet.

Initially I wanted to just ask for prayer, but this support has evolved into an amazing testament to what an amazing man my dad is. My sisters, family and I are a united front that has only his best interest at heart. Even though decisions may be tough for us, his well-being is our number one priority.

Please continue to remember him in your prayers by asking God to show us His will, whatever that may be. And know that we are extremely moved by all of the prayers offered to us during this difficult time.

  2. I enjoyed your family vacation photos on Facebook. I know you must be so thankful to have had the opportunity to have taken that trip. It looks like you all had a great time. I am so proud of you for being so strong and compassionate. God will continue to guide you and your family. We are praying hard for all of you and please know there are lots of people praying as well. Don't worry about your boys back in Atlanta we are all taking care of them, too.
