To all those who have visited, phoned, and written to Kev, and to those who have hesitated because they don't know if it will mean much to him.
Gail and Kevin had never met before the night of 29 May 07. They first met when Kevin lay unconscious on the side of the road. Gail spent approximately 50 minutes reassuring, comforting and doing the best to care for Kev under extremely stressful circumstances. Words were the best Gail could offer and were, as time has proved, the most powerful healer at the time and a springboard for healing in the future.
You see, Gail and Kevin did not meet again until 24 May 08, nearly 1 year later, and the following shows how powerful a connection can be formed in the subconscious...
Gail knocked on Kev's bedroom door, "Hi Kevin, it's Gail". There was no hesitation as Kevin made direct eye contact and said a clear "Hello". (This is not a common occurence, especially with "strangers".) Kev then reached out for her and took hold of her arm. He indicated for me to leave the room and they spent some time together. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that there was a definite emotional connection or how powerful those words of encouragement had deeply affected his soul.
If someone with no previous emotional bank account can make such a massive impact on Kev's subconscious well-being, how much more can those who have an emotional connection with him help him?
What this has shown is that all of you who have made such a huge and loving effort to be with Kevin in the last year and those who have spoken to him on the phone (even if he has been unable to respond verbally) and sent messages of care and hope have assisted Kevin in taking the baby steps to recovery. Rest assured that your efforts have definitely not been in vain. You have given hope and a guiding light in the road of recovery.
As time goes on, I'm sure you all think of Kev often; however, you may not realise that just a few minutes of your time can make a huge difference to a long day and give hope and purpose.
There is a saying that "It takes a village to raise a child". I ask you, "How many people does it take to raise a man from the depths of a coma and then raise him to his optimum level of recovery?" The initial stage is 5 years. Please help by giving a few minutes of your time in communication once a month. Put your loving thoughts into words; they speak louder than thoughts.
