Long Story Short... and an update

When mom and dad were here my dad went through our bathroom and took some pills.  I noticed they were missing on the Sunday evening and asked him about it.  He told me where they were but things did not go well and he was very upset that my mom knew about it.

Dad is still in the hospital and not doing well.  He has been sending a few texts - which haven't been nice.  I asked him on Wednesday to not text me at the moment and that I wasn't angry or punishing him but that I needed a break and will continue to pray for him.

Thursday morning he sent one of my daughters a text that a bit on the darker side and my husband and I felt was not appropriate.  My husband talked to dad on Friday and told him it was okay for him to text with the kids but he needed to keep it light.  That night my daughter got another text from dad that was very upbeat and encouraging - I'm glad he sent that because she was upset about the earlier text.

What to pray for - grace for everyone involved, that the communication stays open between family
and for my girls.

What I'm thankful for - my husband and support from friends and family.

Update

Dad hasn't been doing too well these past few weeks.  This afternoon he called 911 on himself because he wanted to be admitted to the hospital.  As far as we know he is currently in emergency.  There are some contributing events preceding this and I'm hoping to find the mental energy to write about it at some point.

6:15pm - hospital called my mom and dad has been admitted.

Prayer requests... peace for my mom, brother and sister-in-law and that we can try to see God's presence in all of this stupid mess.
