Update on Apache M

Just got back home from the hospital and dad has regressed quite a bit.  His spirits are high and he is ready to get out but looking at him today was very upsetting and hard on me.  He has aged quite a bit in the last two weeks and I am trying to hold it together.  He is still wanting me to make a few bets for him so he has something to watch at night on tv but I am hoping the big guy is not ready for him yet.  Keep the prayers coming he really needs them right now as do my mom and myself.  Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers and I hope he is back on here quickly to post more jokes.

He is still wanting me to make a few bets for him so he has something to watch at night

now that's a true degenerate and i'm saying that with the utmost respect and with a smile.  stay strong jcm and best wishes to apache.

Please send along my best to your dad.

The longer you stay around a posting community like this, the more you realize that there are real people here with real issues.

I hope everything works out for him.

Best wishes to you your dad Mrs. Apache and the family.

I would NEVER bet against Apache.

 

The following line has to be one of, if not, the most epic line ever on Covers....

He is still wanting me to make a few bets for him so he has something to watch at night on tv.......

Prayers and well wishes to you and your family. Hopefully he recovers and come on here and sees this thread.

enjoy the time you have with him, I lost my mom a little over 6 months ago and wish I hadn't ever left her. I cherish the last few months of her and spending time with her. Also it will likely be the hardest thing you will ever do, but be there when he passes so he knows you are there and he's not alone. I still cry every day and keep hearing it gets easier, but so far it's not.

They are sending him home today.  I got a phone call from the drs this morning and he took a bad turn for the worse.  He is coming home and hospice is coming in so his last time on this earth are comfortable. 

jmchou1, it's amazing how with just a few words here and there (in the middle of a bunch of yammering idiots going back and forth) we were all able to tell what a special, good-hearted guy your Dad is.  Hang in there man, I know your Dad is going to be fine in whatever come's next, so my thoughts and prayers are all with you - hope you can find some peace in all of this.  Try your best to be happy for being blessed with the times you've shared instead of being sad for your loss - it's going to be hard, but he'll be around hang in there.  We love Apache.

jmchou, Your Dad's posts were something I looked forward with regularity. He's a great guy. I wish nothing but comfort for him and your family during this difficult time. 

A Prayer Addressed To The Mountain Spirits
(Apache)


Mountain Spirit, leader of the Mountain Spirits, your body is holy.
By means of it, make him well again.
Make his body like your own.
Make him strong again.


He wants to get up with all of his body.
For that reason, he is performing this ceremony,
Do that which he has asked of you.


Long ago, it seems you restored someone's legs and eyes for them.
This has been said.
In the same way, make him free again from disease.
That is why I am speaking to you.



As I Walk with Beauty 


As I walk, as I walk 

The universe is walking with me 

In beauty it walks before me 

In beauty it walks behind me 

In beauty it walks below me 

In beauty it walks above me 

Beauty is on every side 

As I walk, I walk with Beauty. 

Apache  

Goose, that is beautiful.

Thank you all for your kind words and support. I will keep you updated as time goes on. I really appreciate the prayer goose but still keep asking myself why. I know god has a plan but I was not ready for this to be it. I know it is for my own selfish reasons that I do not want him to go. Damn cancer!  He still is mentally there but the body is shutting down. I keep asking him if he hurts and he says no.  I just hope for his and my family's sake that he doesn't linger on and suffer.   Thank you all again for the prayers and getting enjoyment out of the same jokes I have heard over and over for my 41 years.  God bless you all!

Absolutely... No one should be kept on beyond reason... The problem is the definition of reason... I believe quality of life is paramount...

praying for u and ur father bro.  i seen him post, he seems like a great guy

Prayers to you, your family, and mostly your dad. His kind hearted spirit was refreshing around here, he was an old soul amongst all the madness on this forum. Reflect on the good, take time to find the strength to tell him how great of a dad he was to you and how much you love him. You will find much more peace if you do that, maybe you already have. Fight the good fight.

"The streets in heaven are guarded by the United States Marines". God bless you Apache. SEMPER FI!!

So sorry to hear this. I love reading the jokes, and telling them to the guys at work. God Bless Apache, and your whole family.... 

best wishes Apache and JcmHou    !
