Been crying my eyes out all day...

Original post by sarahradio5

My poor uncle is not doing well. I wanted to go see him since he was going to come to my wedding. I even brought him a favor, but took it back with me and told him I want him to come to my wedding. My dad told him he's at Table 8. Unfortunately, we're telling this to a man who wasn't conscious the whole time we were there. I had to be there for him, no matter what I have to do this week. He had so many tubes coming out of him. This guy who loved life is just lying there. He has infections and needs blood transfusions. My mom told me this morning she didn't even think he would make it through the day. I'm praying to God for a miracle. We even had a priest come in to pray with us over him. So emotional and upsetting. I just feel so guilty that I haven't seen him in such a long time... since our Engagement Party last year... and it took him being in the hospital for me to see him. I feel like I slacked on being a niece to him. It's hard because my mom has six brothers, but I wish I can turn back time and see and call him more. I really wish I could have seen him as his lively self, dancing as he always does at our wedding this Sunday, which he was SO looking forward to. Ya know, I didn't even realize, he was actually 84 years old! He looked SO young. Multiple myloma, pacemaker, heart bypass surgery, etc.... yet he lived like he was a teenager. Now he may need kidney dialysis God-willing he pulls through this. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pray your hardest for him. It would take a MIRACLE for him to be healthy enough to be with us on our wedding day (and that's not for selfish reasons... I want my loved ones there... and I can't imagine him not being there). But MOST importantly, I want him HEALTHY and comfortable and HEALED. I love him so much and I want him awake again so I can tell him that, even though I'm sure he knows it... sorry, just had to poor my heart out. Please keep him in your prayers.

i am so sorry that you are going through this right now - you and your family are in my prayers!

and please dont feel guilty about what you 'could' have done in the past - focus on praying for him now and getting him through this - everyone regrets what they didnt do for a family member. . . it is a natural reaction but i am 100% sure just from the little i know of you on LIW that you were an amazing and loving niece! you are so kind to strangers on the internet i am sure your uncle knows how much you love him!

Sarah - I'm SO sorry. I will keep him and your family in my prayers and hope he gets better.

I can unfortunately relate...FH's dad is dying of cancer. He is getting worse and worse each day and our wedding is 17 days away. I pray to God he makes it! Would be SO hard on FH and his family and everyone if he doesn't. It's just really been hard these past few months watching him get sicker and sicker during what should be such a happy time in our lives. It's so hard having my heart filled with such sadness and joy at the same time. Sometimes I feel so guilty when I'm doing something for the wedding like how can I be happy at a time like this. It's hard. We also need to make a decision soon too about whether or not to cancel our honeymoon to Tahiti.......so lots of prayers and hugs are needed here too please!!!

Lots of prayers coming your way Sarah!!!
I wish you the best!

OMG... i am SO sorry you're going through something similar. It's SO tough. I hope your FH's dad hangs on. Either way, he will be there with you guys that day. But it's just so hard on the family. I'm sure he would want you guys to be happy during this time, though... it only happens once. Enjoy your last days of being engaged. Did you take honeymoon insurance, just in case? i actually forgot. oops.

Your FH's dad is in my prayers, too. Start a post... these liw girls, as you know, are AMAZING. you'll get a TON of prayers heading your way, and I really believe in the power of prayer. Hey... after the priest prayed over my uncle and my plea on here, my uncle's fever went down. Maybe, maybe, maybe.... ???
