Growing up, whenever my siblings or I were nearing the end of a semester,
my dad would inevitably encourage us to
finish strong.
I haven't written anything on my blog yet about my dad's fight against cancer.
And I don't intend to write much about it.
But today is his last session of chemo,
and this is his last week of radiation.
So, Dad, from all of us kids -
[My family put together a calendar to encourage Dad each day of his treatment.]
Please join me in praying my dad through the homestretch.
He'll go back for an evaluation in a month,
and we are fully trusting God that the cancer will be gone.
Praying with you! What an amazing daughter you are. Finish strong!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers, Sara. He's an amazing father.
DeleteThis is a wonderful idea, and although I'm sad to hear your dad is battling cancer, I'm glad I know about it so that I can pray for his healing, and strength for each moment while he strives for it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for praying, Erin!
DeletePraying for a strong finish and full recovery for your dad!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Christy! :)
DeleteThis totally brought me to meltdown. You Bannisters are an amazing family of light and love and encouragement to one another, and a blessing to those of us on the outside looking in.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sherrie - I appreciate the encouragement greatly.
DeleteLovely Rachel. How come you didn't share the page with your little baby bottoms with the message, "soon this will be behind you?" ;-)
