My Dad, My Hero

My dad's the ultimate hero.
He's a man's man with a sensitive heart.
He's humble with the brain of a genius.
He works tirelessly to make everyone's life better.
He's a spiritual giant that teaches me about Christ by example.
He taught me about love by his always adoring love for my mom.
He taught me about life by living it to the fullest.

My dad, Joseph Raynes, was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor today, and was admitted into the hospital to prepare for surgery on Wednesday. Miracles are already happening with early detection and I am asking for added fasting and prayers starting this Tuesday night. I believe in the power of fasting and prayer and ask for your added faith.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I was so shocked when I heard and so sorry to hear. Love all of you and hope all is well with Uncle Joe.

I'm so sorry Stef! Your dad IS the most amazing man and I am praying for your family. I'm so glad they found it early and I hope he can get through all of this painlessly.

Step I just read about your Dad. I'm so sad to hear that, the couple of times I have met him, he is just the sweetest person ever. He is definantly in my thoughts and prayers.
