I will give you a little insight on my dad Senior Joe without turning this into a book. My dad is 69, and live in Detroit, Michigan. My father use to be a very active man, a truck driver for 40+ years, until December of 98. He fell out at his apartment and was rush to the hospital. The doctor said he had busted a blood vessel in his brain and had a stroke. The Doctors’ were able to repair the blood vessel. However, since then he has not been the same. He has been bedridden ever since. He is grateful to be alive and managing some. He can talk some now and eat his food without a feeding tube in his stomach. He just has not been able to walk and get around on his own anymore. His days are spent laying in his hospital bed watching TV. He enjoys watching that wrestling stuff and old western pictures. Things were looking up for my dad until last year. That’s when the doctors’ told us he has chronic kidney failure. My dad decline being operated on to be put on a kidney dialysis machine. I have to respect his wishes, but I was hoping he would change his mind. He feels he is too old to be operated on again. And he don't want to put me in more debt with his medical bills. My dad don't have any medical insurance that will cover all his medical bills. He also, feels that he has had enough surgeries in his lifetime. He has already had about four major surgeries in his lifetime. So now he has been declared terminally ill. He was given three to six months to live but, he is still here! Thank you Jesus! So, only God knows when your time is up. My father has been sad, depressed, crying at times and talks a lot to himself these days. He tries to remain strong and positive. He never had many visits from friends or family members. Most of his friends, relatives are deceased or live in other states. It's just my dad, daughter and me. I have three older brothers but they have their own family and very busy. My brothers see him when they can. My mom and dad divorced 26 years ago. My mom remarried 22 years ago, but my dad never did marry again. He always said once is enough for him☺. After a while people just stop visiting and just forgot about him. I know life still goes on and people have things to do. I would just like to brighten my dad’s last days. I would love to see his bedroom walls fill with cards from people wishing him well from all around the world. Of course you may not know him personally, but if you got a caring, loving, compassionate heart, it does not matter. Please help me brighten his days. Send him a card today! Thanks for your time and understanding! |

There have been times in my life when I have reached out to people that was less fortunate, in need of help. I have sent cards, money, stuff animals etc. I did not know these people but yet I wanted to show them that people do care. God will bless you by doing this. You do good it will come back to you.

My dad do not have medical insurance for a nursing home. It has been a real strained just keeping a roof over our heads. So putting him in a nursing home is not an option for us. |
