We made it back to the states. It wasn't an easy or fun trip back but the good things is that I'm safe and ok. What a long day and being sick on top of rushing all day is no fun.
I'm sad.
I miss Haiti, my kids, the boys, my dear sister Angela, the roof, the sounds, and even the smell. I'm back but I'm in my own world right now. In the words of Bill, "I'm miles away." My thoughts and my heart isn't here. It's going to take me a while to talk about my trip, to process it all, and then to in turn share it.
I don't ask you to understand because you never will till you go but I do ask you to sit and listen to their stories. Open your heart and close your eyes so you don't see me, see and feel them, the people of Haiti. In turn I hope you will be changed and compelled to care, to love, to give and to see me with new eyes.
it was wonderful, I will go back.

I give you my story and theirs

Good to hear you're home safe! I'll be home soon enough and I want to hear some stories.
I understand, completely! Thanks for spending time at Angel House and giving the kids that special attention. I'm sure they miss you as well.
Thank you so much for going to Haiti & spending time with all the children. It comforts me to know that others sacrifice their time & comfort to help them out. As an adoptive Mom waiting to bring her 2 daughters home, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
