Thank you















Dear Haiti,

I miss you. I don't think I've thanked you yet.
You taught me so much and changed not only my heart but my point of view on life. I want to live a simple life full of things that mater, like love and smiles. I want to somehow someday give back all the compassion you've shown me. From Papi giving his son, Sony and his dancing, to Ari's passion. All of this was such and incredible gift that was shared with me. Every time I think back tears form. These gifts I can't show to people but they touched and changed me. I know how much I need to be changed and not only change.... but to grow.

My love for you and your people grows every day and I long to return. Every face that smiled at me is stuck in my heart. I can see you, feel you, hear your cry. I want to go back to find out your dreams and passions. Then I want to kindle that dream and watch it grow.

Right now Haiti is on my heart. I know that this is not the place I will end up but for now there is work to be done just for you. I pray for you. I love you. I hold you in my heart.

your sister,
Megan
