Kia ora everyone,

I just got off the phone with my best friend's wife (I've known him for 33 years, my whole life) Yesterday, while at work he was crushed by a gantry crane. He has no external injuries but sustained severe internal trauma. They managed to stop the internal bleeding during the surgery, but they discovered his pancreas had also been badly damaged. Now they say it's a waiting game to see if infection will set in, which will put his other organs at risk of failure. Being all the way in Japan I feel absolutely useless, there is nothing I can do for him or his family except pray. So I'm asking for my friends here on TRF to pray with me, his name is Alistair. His wife's name is Janetta and their two children are Emma and Jacob.

Thank you.

Thanks everyone. I still can't believe it. I was just talking to him on Friday night. It's really scary how things like this can just happen, but I guess that's why they call them accidents. Thanks again, your players are really appreciated.

That's so true. You hear about things happening to other people and it is easy to forget that it could happen to someone close to you. Thank you.

Ryan, I no longer take my life for granted like I did when I was a teen. I'm grateful to be alive and strive for happiness, peace and serenity in my life!!!

Thank you. Just thinking about his condition makes my eyes water and I'm not the crying type of guy, but he was more like my brother than a friend, so thank you all so very much for your prayers and kind words.
