We Miss our Friends Dearly ?

May 13, 2015 Posted by Karen Huxter 4 Comments

We did not want to see you leave, but we understood you needed to return to your other life for some months.  We do all miss you.  We do all want you back – on orphanage site and at church too.

Two people were missed in church this morning

Thank you from both Luckner and I for putting up with all the frustrations of daily life at HATS.  It is ‘tet chaje anpil’ at times.  Never a dull moment here. Thank you for the tremendous amount of work you do for us both.  We are waiting for you to return.

On your leaving day lots of tears were shed by one person who shall remain nameless.  She will, however, say that life is not the same without you two.  Life has definitely gone down a notch, or two, or three …need some help here.  Need humour and silliness here again.  Too dull, too boring, too much work, no good communication.  Are you guys missed?  I think perhaps just a little bit!  You are an important part of HATS and hopefully a permanent part !

Since you left several times employees or children have heard “Keif, where are you?  Keif we need you.  Jon come back please.  Jon help please.  Where are Keif and Jon when we need them?  When I call for you guys Germaine, Roselene, Martha and kids just laugh.  Not sure why. I will laugh too when you do come back.

Two members of our family are missing.

 

Boo Hoo

 

Like everything else here – parties too won’t be the same without Keith’s help

 

Happy Birthday Anne

 

Delicious mangoes anyone

Love and hugs from all of us,

    Msta Keif and Jon you are missed by me too, from afar. You are a blessing at HATS and appreciated by all on the ground there and also by all of us here in Canada who support and pray for HATS. Enjoy your return to Canada and your "normal" life and family for a while.
    THANK YOU!

    Karen, this is an awesome 'farewell' message for Keith & Joan for now.
    Karen, you have told us how important they are to HATS and now, through the blogs it is quite obviously they are HATS-Haiti family. They will be back because it is obvious how much they love being there.
    God bless you Keith & Joan and give you a rest & a special time with family until you can return.
    We all love Karen!!
    Prayerfully, Maxi (One of WE too) <3
