I pray for peace

J's dad is nearing the end. He's known for nine months that he was moving closer to death, but now that he's staring it in the face, he's scared.

It just breaks my heart to hear J tell me that his dad told him he's scared. His dad worries that he wasn't a good enough father (he was) and that his kids aren't ok (can't say that any of them are "normal" or "stable", but they are ok, and that's all he needs to hear right now).

He wants to be done with battling cancer, but he's scared to die.

I just pray with all of my heart that he goes soon, but that first he stops being afraid and feels peace.

That's all that anyone can hope for in the end.
