Cliff Monkey

[photojunky]

I know this might not be the right place to post this but I am asking for prayers. My son, Cliff Monkey (Nathan) is in the hospital, a 14 year old that thought he had reached the end of his rope. I know this might be removed but some of you are his closest friends. Thank you all, Photojunky (dad).

So sad to read your post. We'll keep your family in our prayers.

[Jffok]

Willl keep Cliff Monkey in my prayers.

I'm praying for your son, you, and your family. May God Bless you and yours.

[Coon&Bud]

Yes in my prayers too...

[Buckshot/MamaLlama]

In our prayers as well... God Bless your family!

[ronwhite]

In my prayers, already lifted up!!

[gingerose]

Prayers are being sent and for Nathan and your family!

Praying for Nathan and you!

I don't know either of you, but geocachers are like family and I will keep you all in my prayers.

[Flyfishingcachers]

Praying for Nathan & you. Know this must be a tough time!

Sad to hear. Prayers for both.

So terrible to read about this. Depression is a scourge of humanity, and worse at the age of 14. I will certainly pray for your son, you and your family. Keep us posted, OK?

Nathan is home today, so happy to be free. He sounds better and wants to thank all of you for the prayers. I want to thank all of you as well, our geocaching family. Love you all.

[Jffok]

I am glad that he is doing better and I will continue to pray for him. And I think we should set up a permanant thread for anyone who wants to ask for prayers for a loved one.

JFFOK... First of all, congrats on hitting 6K (:p). Secondly, I think it is a great idea to set up a general forum category dedicated to "non-caching" needs of the geo-community (e.g., prayer requests, etc.). Some may disagree and feel like this hobby is strictly for lighthearted fun, but we are not Groundspeak. We have our own organization, and we can shape it as we see fit at a more local level. These are real friendships we are forging, even bordering on "family." It hit me several weeks ago as I was creating a contact list for my new DeLorme InReach PLB: "Who would aid me in an urgent situation out in the middle of nowhere? Who could even find me with just a set of coords? My geocaching friends, that's who." And I would do the same for any of our community if I were able to do so.

Without hijacking the thread captaincooder I would like to carry this conversation to its own thread...
