Just wanted to share about my time visiting with Vernon today.
I showed him a series of photos from last week where I attempted to capture Justine’s act of pretending to be Allison. I had taken a video, but once we had put her on camera, she had stopped the full-blown ‘pretending to be my Mom’ performance. You know how kids are. 😉 Anyhow, once I got to this picture, well, there was that smile from Vernon that’s been beginning to show up. Thanks Justine for the comedy!
When I go to visit Vernon, I’m not one of those talented singers or guitarist types, but I do enjoy sharing and reading to him about what’s been happening in the design world. Today I read him a couple of typography articles recently posted on Fast Company and NPR…interesting stuff, actually. And hopefully he enjoyed hearing the latest…although some of this was probably old-hat to him.
- There’s Finally a Modern Typeface for Programmers
- Can Google Build A Typeface To Support Every Written Language?
What was unique about reading to Vernon today is when I got to a line that mentioned another font designer, I asked if he knew who that was. Looked up to the most definite nod. Well, that was new to me, and I was glad for the responses in interacting today.

Thanks, Jen! That was a great post.
Great to read this. Hugs to Vernon & yourself.
I got a big nod today too…when I asked if Vernon knew Maki was in New Zealand and that he would be coming back soon. 🙂
Praise Jesus!! Allison I have been fasting on Wednesday for various reasons this coming Wednesday I am going to deicate to prayer for Vern!!!
hi Jen , great to see you writing again about your visit with Vern..love the Justine “mum” photos!! ..i`m sure Vern loved to hear all the “font” news too!!
so pleased Vern knows Maki will be home soon, Allison, Maki will have so much to tell him about his time in New Zealand, and Justine will have her big brother to give her hugs and maybe get her into lego too??
ps Jen not sure what “talent” i am going to bring to the room, when i`m over??..don`t sing , dance , play an instrument or know much about fronts…. so answers on a postcard please xx hugs xx
Justine is so cute acting like her Mom. Am glad to hear that Vernon is responding to question about Maki being in New Zealand. We are still praying for him. Me and all the ladies on our pray line. They are all over the USA and other countries as well. Pray changes things.
Hugs,
Becky
That is so awesome. Thank you for sharing. We are encouraged each time we read your posts (which is every day). God says that what the enemy has meant for evil, He will turn around for His glory. That is exactly what we are witnessing with you and Vernon. His glory. His grace. His healing. We pray for continued strength, healing, peace, and favor for you and your beautiful family.
Awesome he is responding to these familiar things!
