Visit to attorney office

This morning, went to visit Dad who just finished his plastic surgery last night. He looked good. I thought he would have bandages on his face after the op, but everything look so nice and normal. Thank God. Mum told him that we will be going to lawyer's office after visiting him and my dad said, "We have victory in Christ". We felt so relieved that he is so strong in faith despite what has happened to him. His spirits are high and he even sipped chocolate milo and cream of chicken soup this morning. A lot of nurses told him that he has come a long way and has improved a lot!

After visiting him, CT''s colleague, Bon drove us to lawyer's office and we talked for about an hour. This Alabama has a law that protects train stations, insurance and airline. Only 4 states in US still hold on to this law, stating that if only 1% we are at fault and 99% we are not at fault, the train station will still win the case. However, the lawyer has been very friendly and concerned. He said he will investigate and see whether despite my dad coming to a full stop, whether he can see the oncoming train or not from the thick bushes and trees. If despite coming to a full stop and still cannot have a good view of train, we can win the case. However, the prob with the track is that there is no warning lights, no barrier and no horn or whistle from train...but all that is still useless if my dad did not come to a full stop and he is supposed to. Lawyer also told us that if we take the case up, we have to wait about 18 months before we go court and my parents have to come back to Mobile, Alabama for about 2-4 trips for this case. So, it has a lot of hastle. Our purpose to take up this case is not to get back at the train station or for compensation. It is in the hope that the government will do something regarding their railway stations so that future accidents can be minimised or prevented.

After lawyer's office, we went for lunch at "Red Lobster" and gave Bon a treat for driving us around and waited for us at the lawyer's office. I had grilled tilapia in a bag. It is actually like paper wrapped chicken , but this is fish instead. Mum had lobster chops-lobsters and scallops in skewers. Bro had fish and chips, Pam and Bon had New Orleans Salmon with rice. The rice tastes like olive rice.Very tasty.

After a very full lunch, we went back and Reeda Taylor called me. She wanted to come over to visit my mum. I know Reeda through church and she will be going to Singapore from end of July to beginning of Dec. So, that was how I got to know her and tell her a lot about Singapore. She visited us and we spent some time talking. Reeda does mission work in Siberia and Brazil. She will be leaving for Brazil soon to set up chapels and to have some children camp. She asked if I like to borrow her car since it will be left alone.She is very nice. I might consider since my bro and Pam has not gone to many places ever since they came.Bro and Pam went out for a walk when Reeda came as they just wanted to get out.

After that, me and mum watched Tv and I was playing computer as usual. Bro went to my apartment office to collect flowers as someone called and said there are flowers being delivered. Very big and nice. All fresh flowers. They are from my relatives-my dad's side. So touched. Very sweet. Take a look at it.

We had fried rice tonight as had a lot of left over rice from last night's food. After that, went to visit dad. He was sleeping very soundly. So, we spent about one hour singing to God and just praising Him by my dad's bed and we left after that. Dad looks like he is glowing..very nice. Mum is thinking that she and and dad will fly back next week as Dad seems to be getting better. So, hopefully, if all goes well, they will be back next week.
