God is so so good.
What else is there to say? Yah, I could say this is because of the medicine, or yah, he just decided to wake up today.
Nope! The Lord is so so amazing, and I am only beginning to see the wonderful power and healing that He is capable of. I just want to fall to my knees... Thank you Lord, Thank You.
I was so scared, but seeing my father today made me feel like I could do anything, that nothing was impossible. The Lord has His healing hands all over this amazing father that I have... and wouldn't have it any other way.
Thankful doesn't seem to be enough of a word. Grateful doesn't either. I feel just utter awe and bewilderment --- amazed and so so happy inside.
I looked at my Dad tonight, and was just talking away. I said, " Dad, I don't think you know how much I love you. I am so glad you are here, that you are MY Dad. I love you so much." He looked at me and said four words that have never hit me so hard...
"I love you too" ---
Oh my God... what those words did to me. No, no sound came out because his trach is still in, but I can read his lips, and those words were never more distinct. My jaw dropped and I just started to cry a little. I kissed him a hundred times on his face. I told him goodnight tonight and told him I didn't want to leave. Mom told him goodnight and said I love you, and when we were about to leave, he mouthed to her "I love you too".
All this is among all his squirming around in the bed, squeezing our hands , nodding yes and no to all sorts of questions. God is goooooood, oh so good. Thank you Thank you Lord.
Right now, its as nothing else in life matters. It has never been more clear to me than it is at this very moment, that my life is so utterly in His hands, in His power, and not in my own.
I love you all...
Love Meg
What could I possibly add to this but to say that I am truly blessed. Just to have our prayers answered. I was so worried about Megan starting school this week, I wanted to take the burden of worry off of her shoulders. I did not think that we could continue on another week. Mark's got a lot more healing to do. Now I know, that by God's willing hand that we are on the road to recovery.
I LOVE YOU TOO!!!!

Now look at what you done did....made me start cryin' all over again! I remember writing in an earlier comment about the testimonies that were sure to come, and they're already starting, and we're not even done yet. There will be others, I can feel it! Other miraculous milestones, and the big one...walking Megan down the aisle. God is so faithful and good! Thanks for sharing, not only updates on Mark, but your heart's thoughts too! Love, Sheryl
Nothing quite like starting the day with happy tears. I too was sitting here reading this with tears streaming down my face, while praising God with you at this truly miraculous first step in many to come. Love and prayers to you all, May God continue to bless you each and every day. Sallie Keaton
I was so happy when all the phone calls started circulating around our family, but when I read the blog, I cried. When Herb had his brain surgery, James had worked out a sign with him to let us know he had his memory or presence of mind. The "I'm back!" phrase was the sign and before we reached recovery the nurses and doctors said he kept saying those words. We knew right away that things would be okay. What is a person without their mind? For nearly a month you have not had that reassurance. I now know all of you will have peace of mind and the road ahead will be easier. God is Great!
Hi,
I agree - nothing like starting my day with happy tears!!! God takes care of us in his time - but I have never developed patience like I should. We are still praying for you and thinking of you.
Love you much!

Our love,

Now we know the real reason Mark is holding up four fingers. Just think, God knew this way back then.
We also know why you chose the picture you did. I was almost brought to tears yesterday when we were up there to see Mark respond to us as he did. He is in good hands and he has so many people who love him. Tell him his big brother loves him and that he needs a haircut. Betty, Megan, Tiffaney, Breanna, and Matt we love you all and are praying for the day he gets to go home. Love you all. Scott ( big brother )
Sorry, Betty for missing your call. It was great to hear how uplifted your spirits are. Christine called me a short time before and we were both just in amazement of Mark progress. It is such great news!! I can not imagine how great it must be to know that Mark is here with you. I hope that his recovery continues to improve every day in lightening speed so that he can be home with you soon. Please send our love to everyone, and give Mark hugs and kisses from us. We love you call and miss you…..

Hey Betty & family,
Marcy Jones (Lynn's wife)has been keeping me updated on Mark and she gave me this blog address. I've been praying for him and ya'll since the accident, I just didn't know how to get in touch with any of you. I used to have Mark's email address, but don't have it anymore. I also talked to Grandma Jones (Faye) the other day to see how Mark was doing. Sounds like he is doing better everyday! I'm so glad!Tell Mark to get well so we can dance at our 30th class reunion that is coming up soon!Ya'll take care and I'll keep checking the blog! Betty, email me when u get a chance! I'll be in touch!
