Wednesday Day 17

My Dad's brother and his wife came to town to see him. He managed to show him all his tricks, and even squeezed out a smile. His hair is coming back in, his scars are almost fully healed, and if you didn't know any better you would say he is just sleeping. Amazing how powerful the mind is. I just want to say "Wake up!" sometimes. I worry that he is only showing his tricks and movements and speech for his family.

I was told to turn on the second showing of the Oprah show last night when I got home. It was so close to home, I couldn't believe it.

Dear John,
You are in my prayers and I am praying for a fast and expediant recovery. I would like to thank your sons for putting this blog out there for all your friends to see your progress. You have been in my thoughts as my father just passed away from lung cancer in July. I was able to be there by his side through it all. Stay strong and we will keep you in our prayers. Give my love to your mother also. Love Rob Junge

Chris,
I thought I had better introduce myself since I left a comment. My name is Rob Junge and I met your dad while I was working as a Pharmaceutical Wholesale Rep and your dad was working for UNITED DRUGS. He hired me to establish the Oregon territory for UNITED DRUGS after he was promoted to Sales Manager. I am also a very close friend of John & Bonnie Stark. Once again our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you again for this informative Blog on your dad.
