Wow! We were blown away by all the African love 
                                that showed up at our house. MASSIVE gratitude 
                                in our hearts for our African friends who came 
                                over to "grieve African style" w Karl 
                                over the loss of his mom. They expressed their 
                                sorrow, prayed for Karl, sang this beautiful song 
                                called "Thula Sizwe" (Xhosa meaning 
                                "be quiet, hear and don't cry because God 
                                will conquer for you") and made us feel like 
                                family. I know I'm starting to sound redundant, 
                                but we LOVE this amazing community.
