All losses are restored and sorrows end. ~William Shakespeare
One doesn't know, till one is a bit at odds with the world, how much one's friends who believe in one rather generously, mean to one. ~D.H. Lawrence
In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit. ~Albert Schweitzer
And finally, to quote the great Kazakstanian poet Borat, "Wah wah we wah!"
I think you could easily say that the circumstances of our family over the past few weeks have been rare and/or exceptional. But we have also discovered that we have exceptional and rare friends and relatives. Let me give you a few more adjectives: outstanding, remarkable, extraordinary!
The first three quotes above, I think, express how important your friendships are to our general well-being. You have given us the opportunity to talk, cry, vent, EAT, and laugh. We can't begin to thank you enough.
The purpose of the Borat quote is to describe how we all feel about Karl's workplace family. I think it bears repeating: Wah wah we wah! Translation: WOW!
As a great example of outstanding support, many of Karl's Adrian Steel family -- the A-Team as they call themselves -- gathered on Saturday, April 26 to surprise "Brother Karl" by raking, trimming, mowing and tidying his yard. I didn't do a count, but there must have been 20 people, including spouses and children, who worked very hard throughout the morning. Karl was very surprised and deeply touched (as we all were). You guys are great! Many thanks.
