Prayers

Please pray for my dad, Frank Yamada, Sr. He was recently diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. The doctor has not yet scheduled him for surgery. This weekend looks likely. According to his wishes, I am not flying out, at least not yet. My father has mucho tenacity. He has survived three heart attacks, diabetes, and four kids a total of four years apart. I am hoping that this is just another case of dad dodging the proverbial bullet. I have been dealing with the inevitability of his passing since his first heart attack in the late 70s. He is a proud man, giving to a fault, and a good father.

I'll keep your father and your family in my thoughts. I trust that God will take care of his son in his own way and in his own time. I find that often I miss the easy, carefree guidance that you and Michelle used to provide. I miss you!
