missing haiti

Today it's been one month and two days since the earthquake devestated Haiti. My heart grieves for this country. I am missing this country; my friends that live there and call this country their home. I miss the resilience that my friends have. I miss their joy; I miss hearing about their faith in God. I miss the smells; the sights; the sounds.
I long to spend time there again. I captured these photos just over two months ago. I suspect that this wall is no longer standing.
This is a photo I took at the Baptist Mission. It is in the mountains that are above Petion Ville.
This is the gift that Haiti has given to me. Guerwens, my first grandchild. My first grandson. He is love. He is Haiti.

What a wonderful picture! What a blessing. He looks like he'll fit right into your happy family.

I think I feel the way you do about Haiti - but about Russia. I have thought about it....if something like this happened in Ivanovo I'd ache, ache, ache.
