Mom called this week, said my dad's retina tore in his "good" eye. The other tore a few years ago. He's had surgery to repair the bad eye, but always hoped the other eye wouldn't go. Now, he's had both eyes operated on (had the procedure on Fri) and we're hoping he regains sight. He's barely 59, and doesn't want to retire...CAN'T retire. There's not enough $$ to do so due to a layoff a few years ago.
I've been studying a lot about the power of intention. One lady said that she had been looking into the connection between eye failure and the individual having life situations where they tell themselves they don't want to "see" what is happening. She says they are basically telling their bodies they don't want to see, and so the body obliges. I only consider it because my youngest brother has been living at home and doing some illegal things, and my mom has been paying for the attorney fees (but, don't get me started there!!). I was trying to tell them about this theory, and I kind of hope it's true, because she also said that there had been some successes of people regaining sight when they finally allowed themselves to "see" what was going on.
So, here I am worrying about them. Too far away to do anything, but, I don't think I'd do any good close either. Except, I want to run over there and hug him good and tight. He's so scared he'll totally lose his sight, and he drives mom nuts when he can't see because he assumes she is doing the tasks he'd do "incorrectly" like the driving. She says he's a horrible back-seat driver. 
But, I really feel his fear. Like I said, I wish I could make it all better, maybe I'll do a fast in his name. I've witnessed a few miracles doing that for other folks, can't hurt.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do that? I'll add your family to my prayer list.
