Pray for my mom and dad

Over the last month or so we have been adjusting to the news that my dad, Troy Cotton, has lung cancer. The doctors have said he has between one and two months.

Daddy has been fighting Alzheimer's for the past 8 years. The news of cancer stirs up mixed feelings. We wish for long life and as many days together as possible, but dad never wanted to conclude his days in a nursing home with no memory.

So we are waiting and giving thanks for God's perfect plan and that God is the only One who knows the number of our days... His plan is best.
...All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Psalm 139:16-17

Daddy and mom have been married 54 years and daddy's 79th birthday is tomorrow... October 1st. Pray for mom as she waits on dad... day to day and as we all wait for his graduation to a perfect home in heaven and new body.
