This is my cousin and I am Just SO damned proud of her.

She has worked with relocating refugees in Kentucky from countries where their lives were in danger for many years.
This is her co-workers' goodbye on her retirement.

I hope she has a wonderful retirement, one that is full of love and new adventures.

Thank you for sharing the video. It's well done and full of love.

It's so easy to forget that most people are good at heart... and she's one of the people who actually get out there and do something with that goodness.

Give her my very best wishes for the happy retirement she deserves.

My father wouldn't EVER say so, but he was really touched when people came all the way from Eastern Canada to the West Coast for his retirement dinner This video really reminded me of that.
