Life is precious, and the love of true friends and family is priceless. One of my good friends was fighting for his life last week. He is not through it yet. When his dad, John Reinehr, told me that his son Sebastian might not make it, I said, 'What can I do?' and he said, 'Pray for him.' Sebastian Reinehr is intelligent, kind, thoughtful and passionate. I want to thank the doctors and nurses and staff at the Austin Hospital who have been looking after him—their respiratory team, their critical care unit, indeed our whole public hospital system. When we need it most, they're there, and they mean so much to all of us. I want to say to his father, John, his mother, Kathleen, and his siblings, Liz and Steve: we're here for you. Sebastian is a fan of William Butler Yeats. Yeats said this:

Think where man's glory most begins and ends,

And say my glory was I had such friends.

Sebastian, you are such a friend, and you have such friends. We are thinking of you, and you will get through this.
