Hello red
so sorry to hear about your partners, fathers illness. Ask the immediate family ie wife, to ask him if he would like some healing/ balancing from individuals around the world who are devoted to this path. all he needs to say is yes. then ask for healing from all, on the healing request board.
sit quite and call upon the archangel raphael(3 times)request in the name and empowerment of the infinate light to help you through this time and to give healing to your partners father as to there compassionate will.this latter request will not require permission from the individual.
my love and thoughts jamie
