All the nice things Karl said about his young daughter cut it short to me. Having met her and talked with her she is one of the sweetest, nicest young ladies I have met in a long time. She really impressed my significant other with these same qualities, and that doesn't happen much.
Kathy and me have had the pleasure and privilege of staying in Karl's house with him and his lovely wife and their noisy puppies for the last three years now. That is how I met Michelle. She is charmingly shy, and never has there been a time when we visiting that she wasn't respectful and polite to her parents. We visit at Christmas time, and as Karl said, besides her employed work she has always seemed to be working on a couple of projects to help others in need enjoy the season.
Having just finished a prolonged illness with a family member, I think it is also important to remember how important the support group is around the person victimized by illness. I can't imagine how hard this is for Karl and Linda, but then I can't imagine having a better team around Michelle than Karl and Linda.
With all that in mind Karl, Kathy and I sending all the positive energy and prayers we can to all three of you. Please tell Michelle she is in our thoughts, to be strong, and that we are looking forward to seeing all of you soon.
