Dad

I love my Dad. Watching him fight the many cancers that are destroying his body is far worse than I ever could have imagined. There are moments when I am overwhelmed by the reality of his experience. I have been driving myself nuts trying to figure out and plan for every possible outcome. However; in the middle of my madness, I remembered that this is something I cannot control. I remembered that it is all with God. After that realization, I felt peaceful about the entire situation. That afternoon, I went to visit my Dad and for the first time in two weeks I was no longer stressed out about what to say or do, or what might happen to him. Regardless of all that is outwardly happening to my Dad; vomitting, seizures, slurring of words, loss of balance, double vision,etc., I know that God has Robert L. Perkins in his very capable hands.
