Please would you just throw up a prayer for my Dad who is now in the final stages of his fight against cancer. We all love him deeply and hope that it doesn't make him suffer too much now.

Thanks guys.

Update: My Dad passed last night at 11.40. Mercifully the end was short for him. Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.

I'm sorry to hear this, Deryck. Many prayers for your dad, and for all of you. I lost a sister and a brother to cancer. I hate it! At the very end, you go from praying for healing to praying for a peaceful ending. You all will stay in my prayers.

I'm sorry, man.
Thanks for your blogs about him. Take these days to share the stories, see him in the faces of your kin, honor his memory. We'll be thinking of you these days.

I am so sorry you have lost him. I guess that quick is merciful but that doesn't make those left behind miss him any less. Hugs and prayers to you and your family.
