Teruah's father

UPDATE!!!!

Amarillo, Texas

January 24, 2009

For those of you who may be wondering, we made it to Dallas, TX safe and sound and spent a few days there with my sister, Leah. Afterwards, we were able to go and visit Teruah's father in Amarillo, TX for a few days. He was in the hospital and not doing well. The doctor's believed that he had a condition known as "Pick's Disease" which is a condition like Alzheimer's that slowly deteriorates a person's mental capabilities as well as physical capabilities. Unfortunately, Teruah's father declined very quickly. She was able to vist with him several days and then we returned to Dallas to rest for a few days before our trip back to New York. The night before we were to leave however, we received a call that Glen, Teruah's father had taken a turn for the worse. God blessed us to be able to extend our car rental and we were ablr to come back up to Amarillo and visit her father again, this time with Teruah's sister from California. Both girls were able to visit and be with Glen for two days and on Saturday, he went home to be with Jesus! (Where I am certain there is a HUGE party going on in his honor...) The funeral is to be held tomorrow, and I would love it if you would pray for Teruah and for her ister Tammy and their entire family in this time of loss.

Thanks for reading - you will probably hear more from us once we are certain what our next step is. Blessings - and thanks for praying for us!
