Well this afternoon our family came over for our Sunday Brunch. We ate, had good times, then dad called everyone in for a prayer...
See, my dad is having many harships at his work. He's the team leader of a department at the Florida Hospital, and the people working for him are giving him flack and spreading gossip and rumors. Now on Monday he's going in for judgement, and this decides whether he stays with his job or is kicked out. I know my dad better than many, he's a good guy. I just want what's best for him.
We all gathered around, hand-in-hand, in prayer. My dad was the one who started the prayer...and this moment was the first time I had ever seen or heard my dad cry. His sadness, stress, heartpain, all leaked out in this prayer. I just broke out in tears flowing like a river, shuddering like a man being shot by an automatic toothpick gun. We were all in tears for this man, this wonderful man, who has done so much for us all, who's been a wonderful, respectable, and oh-so-loveable member of this family.
After the prayer we all hugged and kissed. After I had hugged everyone, hugging my father the most, I sneaked off into the bathroom where I could cry freely and louder. I was just hurt by the fact that these people could be so cruel to my own father like this.
I then dried my tears, washed my face, and faced the rest of the day the best I could.
Now, for those of you who are wondering what kind of rumors and gossip have been said in the workplace...stuff like Dad's not doing a good job here or there...asking too much....yeah. I don't know a lot about it, but I know it's not good at all.
For all of you God-worshipping people such as myself, I ask this of you...if you can, please say a prayer for my father. He's the best father a son such as I could ever ask for, and I really want to see him happy, for he deserves at least that much.

Thank you.
