About one week ago I heard my grandma passed away, my (widow father's mommy). He lives a few hours from me because of his job. It's definitely a blessing to have a job, but it's so unprofessional; he literally works 24/7. Meaning it's a construction site, and they have a trailer so it's not close to the city. He walked 2 hours just to go grocery shopping because there are no buses. He told me he's been through so much; one time accidentally he walked through a freeway, he was lost, and a policeman stopped him, told him to go back. Then when he tried to take a taxi, he couldn't find one, so finally, some random guy gave him a ride, and they got to the place finally, his working place where he also lived for the last 2 months. I am still going through so much as I have been separated from my husband for 3 months now, and I have my baby that's 3 years old, etc., so I haven't been able to offer my poor old daddy anything. So even if some of the harsh stuff he's been dealing with, plus they don't pay him on time—for example, he almost has been working 2 months and still hasn't gotten paid yet. After I pushed him a lot to ask why he isn't getting paid, they told him, "Well, you need to have a bank account," so as usual, he walks far away, and finally, he opened an account. He is also new to the country. Where he is now is about 3 hours away from where I am. He doesn't know anyone there, and his work is in the middle of nowhere, near the city. So inconvenient. He was also complaining of pain; he was diagnosed with a cracked bone in the middle of his ankle. But he won't know how to go get it checked, etc. I can go on; one time the power went off in his trailer, and he lived without power for like a week. I pressured him to ask someone because all this conversation of ours is over the phone. He felt as though he is bothering them, etc., when he asks for any of his needs. And one other last thing, there is no shower, so he does a sponge bath. All this time for like 2 months, so inconvenient. Anyway, now above all this, his mama has passed away, and he doesn't know it. We are all concerned it would hit him hard because he was planning to go visit her as soon as he can. And now to tell him over the phone is tough. But I want to go with my baby to tell him, but I don't even have his address, etc. So just pray for my dad, please, to find out and that he will take it okay...and for me to have peace knowing what I know and talk to him every day is been so painful to me. And sometimes he mentions, "Oh, I can't wait to go see my old mom; I miss her," etc. Thanks, saints, please pray for me, with my kid L, and dad T. And husband T. Thanks so much, pray for my restoration, family reunion, with dad, financial blessings, and open doors for us right in the city where I am. Thanks a lot.
