I am humbled to be guest at your home, the rehabilitation home you helped shaping and expanding over the past decades............ Deep in our heart we all would wish to be able to serve the society in such a dedicated manner as you do. But if we are honest, we'd admit, we aren't able to do it. Like you. Lifelong work. On the grass root level, under most dire circumstances........You both embarrass and encourage us. You embarrass us because we don't match your dedication.
