Happy 45th Wedding Anniversary!
Hello everyone and thanks for your ongoing love, concern and prayers for my dad and our family. We appreciate them so much.
Today I invite you to thank God with us for blessing my parents with 45 years of marriage. In this age, this is a remarkable accomplishment, and we are all thankful for the testimony of their lives and marriage. They will celebrate by going *out* for dinner ... my dad got permission from the home nurse for this special occasion, so this is his first time out!
My dad continues his remarkable recovery from the surgery. He had the staples removed on Wednesday, and you can hardly see the incision scar because his hair covers it (for those of you who don't know, they cut very little hair for the surgery). He enjoys going for 1-2 walks each day, and his stamina is good. A few cat naps a day help. He receives great encouargament from the many cards, phone calls and visitors he receives.
For those who want to visit, please continue to call first before coming (215-721-2695), as some days he gets many visitors and we need to spread them out a bit. If you come, the best thing to do is to be yourself and have normal conversations (i.e. talk about your life and your family, how terrible the Phillies are playing, etc.) rather than asking my dad (or us) to go back and relate all of the events that have happened in the past 3 weeks (this can get a bit tiring ... and these events are listed on this page). Certainly you can ask him how he is doing, how he is feeling ... and marvel with us at how God has been working in amazing ways these past 3 weeks. God is good, and he "is able to do immeasuarably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." (Eph. 3:20-21) We have seen many miraculous things happen in these past 3 weeks, and we anticipate seeing more!
Please be praying for my dad and our family as we meet with the oncologist at HUP (Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania) this Monday at 1 pm. Pray that we will have a good meeting and feel comfortable with the doctor, that we will receive helpful information, and that we will be able to get answers to the questions we have to help us in the decision-making process. At this meeting, we anticipate finding out the plan and schedule for treatments (chemotherapy and radiation). This meeting should also be helpful in processing the appropriate time for my return to Thailand. (What a blessing it is to be able to be here to celebrate my parents' anniversary and Father's Day.)
Thanks again for all of your support and prayers. My dad is overwhelmed by your expressions of love, and he says, "I don't deserve all of this love." We keep reminding him that he *does*.
May God bless each of you as you have been a blessing to our family.

Dear Mark and Nan:Our thoughts have been with you very much lately. People are constantly asking about you. More meaningfully you are in the prayers of us all. We are concerned that in the providence of God that Nan Kris, and Jeff will respond to this "interruption"with the knowledge and assurance that God will lead in the direction He would have you go. Happy Anniversary !
Love Howard and Ruth Landis
