Every day, it dawns on me a little more what a waiting game this is. Even though we were told Vernon has begun the awakening stage, its also been suggested that he won’t be ‘with us’ by the time Maki takes off for New Zealand for the summer on Thursday night. I know he had wanted to at least say good bye. But he will be gone for only a couple of months, so hopefully skype and texts will fill in the blanks as we go through the next phase.
Anyway, I can’t tell you how proud I am of this kid. I just wish the timing had worked out better. But as he, his mum, and I have discussed, the timing may not be so wrong in the end, since we have no idea how easy his transition will be.
Please keep praying for a gentle transition for Vernon and please keep Maki on your hearts. He and his dad have always been connected in a deep and quiet way.

“He giveth more grace when the burdens are greater, He sendeth more strength when the labors increase. To added affliction He addeth His mercy; to multiplied trials, His multiplied peace. Chorus: His love has no limit; His grace has no measure; His power has no boundary known unto men. For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.” May He give you ALL you need for each day!! Continuing to pray for Vernon and all the family.
Allison,
Maybe Vern will wake up enough for Maki to see that his Dad is still with us. God can take care of a lot or is it everything? I know it is hard for you and the rest of the family but just trust God to take care of everything. And we will be praying.
Love and hugs,
Becky
You continue to inspire me everyday. Maki will be just fine because he has three parents who love him deeply. Praying for a peaceful transition back to reality for Vernon.
Now that you put it like that, Sue…he actually has 4! We mustn’t forget his stepdad. 🙂
He is a pretty loved kid.
beautifully put Allison ..yes Maki and Vern are always connect .. he is a very much loved boy, and has a special place in our hearts.. my boys only have one “boy” cousin (and ofcause only one “girl” cousin in Justine), as PAUL and i have only one niece and nephew…. i`m sure even though Maki will not be at Verns bedside, they will be thinking of each other. I agree with you and Maki`s mum,it may work out better this way! That, none of us know, but i know you will make Vern and Maki`s transition as gentle as it can be x hugs to you all x
continued prayers for all of you!
Allison we are praying that the Lord will wake Vernon ever so gently. We pray that that he will be calm and able to accept what is going on being able to sense all the Love from friends and family. Praying also that the Lord will give him the ability to withstand any pain. Praying for you and your entire family that God will continue to give you all strength and His perfect peace. Allison your strength and love of your husband has been an encouragement to all and we pray that you can continue to rest in the arms of God’s perfect love. ♥ The Jones family
Thank you Allison for being so honest about all the aspects of this. That means everyone else worry less. It would be better if we could stay on, but its good we feel safe enough to think about leaving. In the time Jennifer and I have been here we have felt so welcome. Thank you everyone.
Big Hugs to you, Synnove. I think the timing of everything continues to work out in a good way. Will miss you three though.
Biggest THANK YOU to you Allison, ofcourse.
It’s truly a gift to all of us that you share your heart with us so regularly, Allison. It gives us all a way to connect to the situation on an emotional level, especially those of us who live far away. Thank you for that.
Amazing that through tragity-something beautiful arises… There is more love and kindness in the air, more gratitude. I’ve never been witness to anything quite like this. Vernon is going to have a sweet gift (when he is able to soak all this in) in seeing the evidence of the supernatural power of love- that brought family together in crisis-and gave Justine and Allison precious new companions in Synnove and Jennifer. (Besides the great comfort to Maki which is so very important!) It’s truly an honor to be around such love and generosity of spirit. Don’t you just see and feel your capacity for love growing…I’m praying for Vernon’s transition and total healing-he has a family to be very proud of! Love you bunches xoxo
your comment worked! Thank you, dear! Love you.
