A call for thoughts and prayers

[Kapitan_Phillips]

I lost my uncle this morning to cancer. He was terminally ill, but lived almost twice what was predicted. He was the kind of uncle who likes things younger people liked, Lord of the Rings, weapons and had a keen interest in learning what he could from me about submarines.

Its funny how even though you know something is going to happen, it never prepares you for it.

Kapitan_P.. pay close attention to verse 3

[Oberon]

Sorry to hear that Kapt, you have my thoughts and prayers.

[STEED]

Its funny how even though you know something is going to happen, it never prepares you for it.

Too true.


You have my sympathies, KP.

[Peto]

He sounds like he was a good man Kapt. As long as he stays in your memory, a part of him will live on.

The best any of us can really hope for is a life well lived and the knowledge that we have enriched another's life somehow. It sounds like your Uncle accomplished this.

My condolences on your loss.

I almost lost my grandmother to a mild heart attack over Christmas (don't worry, she's recovered somewhat now), so I know what you are going through. My condolences and thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.:cry::cry::cry:

[Kapitan_Phillips]

Thank you for all your support. I can safely say he'd be honoured to have such people as his peers. Thank you. Thank you all.

[Torplexed]

January...such a dark, bleak month. But it's always a dark time when these things happen. My sympathies. :cry:

[SteminDemon13]

My condolences go out to you and your family kapitan. He will be with you always.

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied,

"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you."

[Reaves]

It's times like this that we must look at what we have and cherrish it. Too often we are guilty of taking things for granted, be it our loved ones or the safe civilised places we live in.

My prayers are with you Kap.

-Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me.

Did you check how deep the footprints were? ;)

Seriously though, thats a beautiful verse. Thank you :)
