Day 10 (morning): My doctor, Dr Simon Ng, called my papa early this morning and told papa that I was again stable overnight. I like Dr Ng very much today, because he told the nurses to take out that horrid needle from my arm and leg that feeds me from a drip. Today I am drinking 50ml of milk from the bottle! Looks like I may be able to go home soon. I must keep trying hard. Papa is happy that I am coming home soon from the hospital. He is busy preparing for my homecoming. I am so sad that mummy won't be there to greet me, but I must be strong for papa. Papa misses mummy very much. I pray that Jesus is next to mummy now, because she must feel just as lonely as papa and me. Mummy dearest, we miss you very much. Why did you have to leave us behind?
Dear Evan,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you can return home soon. you most be excited. We are praying for you. May GOD bless you.
PRECIOUS EVAN,
ReplyDeleteGOD is too GOOD to be unkind;
HE is too WISE to be confused;
When we don't understand;
WE CAN ALWAYS TRUST HIS HEART.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING can separate you and your daddy from God's love.
Dearest Evan,
ReplyDeleteit was so wonderful to visit you this morning. Even after being blessed 3 times, I had forgotten how tiny baby feet are, Hope you liked the foot rub while Auntie Iris was holding you. Hope you didn't mind the singing when we were alone ;-).
You know, 53cm is longer than most of the babies I know. God willing (with Glucosamine for me), you and I can anchor the defence of my soccer team. Your cousin Noah will probably play attack, he has shown those tendencies. Even if your dad dupes you into supporting Liverpool, I will teach you the ManU ways like mummy would've wanted.
Dear Evan
ReplyDeletePlease know that we are praying you will be mended in every way you may have been hurt,
that you will be cared for and protected as if your Mummy were right by your side,
that your father will find the solace he needs in you, and, most of all,
that God's purpose will be clear to you and your Dad in the road ahead.
with love
Auntie Michele
Dearest Evan,
ReplyDeleteI have yet to meet you, yet I knew you well while you were with Mummy. We even had a wonderful time in Bangkok, remember?
I wait for the day I can touch you. But now is your Daddy's time. You are his JOY - yes, all in capital letters, and as he hold you, Mummy is looking on, maybe even singing you a lullaby from heaven. Her voice must be even more beautiful now and she has a chorus which will never sing flat.
Be proud, be brave Evan ... you will see that Daddy has so, so much love to give to you. Give him your total love and that will bind you both together, with the blessings of your Mummy.
Auntie Di
Dearest Evan,
ReplyDeleteI am so consoled by the wonderful progress that you have made and thank your papa for making it possible for us to keep in touch. It lessens the ache in my heart since mummy left so suddenly, leaving no chance to say goodbye.
Your mummy and I were part of a group of youths who grew up in the St Ignatius parish. We were involved in musicals/plays; we sang songs of joy, of hope, of saints and heaven, of the love of God our Father. Your mummy was not only extremely talented but someone who was very kind and gentle, never afraid to take on difficult tasks/challenges for God and his people.
I just know she is watching over you and papa so closely, even more so than when she was here, storming heaven for your recovery and healing.....and God would never say no to her. What seems senseless to human eyes will make perfect sense in time.
I keep thinking of her too and the memory of her compels me to the conclusion that nothing is as important as loving/pleasing God and making peace with others. Her passing has indeed "stopped all of us in our wayward tracks" and given to us a clearer idea of our destiny...loving God and finding our way back to him.
Evan, she received you from the hands of the saints in the heavenly court at the moment of your birth and was invited to take a seat with them...she stayed to have a more powerful effect on yours and papa's life in the greater scheme of God's plan.
With love and Prayers always,
Uncle Bernard and Aunty Ying
My Dear Evan,
ReplyDeleteWhen I read your blog just now, I was very touched & nearly cried. Actually everytime I read yr blog you actually made me cried cos of your obedience to the Lord, mummy & daddy. You've did very well & you're improving each day. How I wish I can hear your cry, laughter & also hear you talk but I don't think I'll be able to hear from you personally but instead I can only 'talk' to you in this manner thru your blog.
Nevertheless, I thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson that is to 'Press On' no matter how difficult things going to be. You are just like your daddy willing to press on & persevere & I really admire both of you daddy & son!! Your daddy must be very happy to hear the good news that you are going home soon & when you go home, I'm sure you'll love your home & room!! You must be a very good boy to daddy & when you grow up, pls promise Aunty Pat to obey & listen to daddy so he won't be upset cos he have to work very hard to earn money to take care of you & give you the best. Show him your love by obeying & listening to him cos daddy knows what's best for you & he also love you very much! Not only listen & obey daddy but also listen & obey Jesus cos Jesus died on the cross for us 2000 years ago to take away our sins cos He loves us very much! Never forget Jesus's love for you!
I love you too, my dear Evan!! :)
Dearest Evan
ReplyDeleteIts so good to hear that you will be going home soon. As you grow older, you will come to realise that your Mummy was loved by many people. Your Daddy is loved by many people too. And all these people love you just as much and are praying for your speedy recovery and good health.
Although your Mummy has gone to heaven ahead of you, you are nevertheless a very lucky young man. Your Mummy will be protecting you and praying for you always. We are sure you will be a source of joy for your Daddy as he struggles to cope in the days, months and years ahead.
God Bless you and your Daddy and Mummy.
Uncle Nick, Aunty Wendy and Arabella

Dearest Evan,
ReplyDeleteEveryone here in my home is so glad to hear how well you are doing. Soon you will be able to go home and be with your daddy all day and all night and help him through this difficult time. I can't wait till you are able to see the people who are eagerly waiting to meet you.
Uncle Colin,
Your strength through this difficult time has truly been an inspiration to us all. Keep walking with Evan in the comfort that God and Aunty Fudge, who we all miss so much, will be with you every step of the way.
