Brian, you, your wife, and all the OCF team who dedicate themselves here are jewels in the hearts of so many. A source of strenght and brilliance, an insperation to all to become part of something greater than themselves. My husband was instrumental to my own realization. In his deepest hour of need, when all I could do was hold him he turned to me and said, 'I want to give'. I felt a sense of relief as I knew he had somehow found meaning through his suffering and I replied, 'I will support you in all of you aspire'. He ignited something profound in me both through his own realization and the pains and joys that we shared.

A big thank you to the OCF and all the sholders it stands on!
