I am at a loss to hear about this accident. Of course, all concerned will be in my prayers. This is not just a watch forum, it can and will be a family when stakes are high and prayers are in dire need. If you follow along long enough here it will become apparent. You are in good stead and with good friends!

Best of luck to you, Allistair and his entire family. You are in my prayers.
Thank you Unclesallie, but I really think it is me who is the lucky one. Just before I came to Japan in 1997, he told me not to worry about my mother, that he'd look in from time to time. I thought he meant once every few months, but he was there every week for the first 6 years! Once he got married he still took time out to check in without fail, every month. My mother always looked forward to him coming over. I don't know how I can ever repay that much kindness.

Thank you Oneillba, you're absolutely right. As JJ puts it 'If I want friends, I need look no further than TRF!'

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.
No news is good news?

Here's hoping!
