Please don't smoke

In you mercy please pray for my Uncle who is dying of lung cancer now complicated by leukaemia. He is 58.
He was diagnosed 2 months ago and things have progressed very quickly and I don't think he has much longer to live.

He is my mum's brother and this is a very difficult time for my family in Italy because they are all still aching from my other Uncle's sudden and unexpected death last November.


Have Mercy Sweet Lord.

Oh i'm so sorry to hear that! My dad died of lung cancer it's so hard. I found that the best thing for him was that he felt peace and not be frightened and panicky. So stories about God and heaven were so comforting.
I will remember him and your family in my prayers.
love xxxx

Aw thanks a lot guys. Your thoughts & prayers mean a lot; I really appreciate it.
Yesterday he was let home from hospital because there is nothing they can do for him anymore, so we are just waiting for the end. My family in Italy are trying to enjoy what time they have left with him.

Your Uncle will be in my prayers as well.

I will say a rosary for him, and all the terminally ill, today.

As for the DVC book, the one I am reading is worthwhile, though simple. It is a question-answer format that reiterates a lot of the same points over and over again. But, I would still recommend it if you don't have a lot of spare time.

If you do have more time, I would recommend (and the authors of the shorter book recommend) The DaVinci Hoax.

Thanks for keeping up with my blog. Pass the word.
