I know none of you will read this but I wish you could. To all my dear Haiti friends and to the people I have yet met. I want you to know that I have not forgotten you. I want you to know how I am sharing my story, your stories. I am showing your beautiful faces to everyone that I know in hopes of changing their hearts to care more about others in this world. To show them that you all have dreams and goals just like we do. I am going to teach Sunday School this Sunday and talk about my trip to Haiti. I will talk about you and I pray that they will hear the passion in my voice. I hope to sparksomeing deep within their hearts that will overcome their apathy and become motivated to care, to act, and to stay devoted to helping the ones around them.
I will never forget you. Never. I miss you with all my heart and think of you daily. My mind flashes back to Jonas in my pink sun glasses. To Noah pointing out that the cat in on the chair. To Steven dancing for the first time. Angela painting in my room.Fritzon's enthusiasm, Mia's attitude, Alixson's loves for cars, Jimmy's singing, Bethany's laugh, You-You's orange quilt. I remember the dirty looks I got for my muched loved haircut, the girls sitting outside every night saying hello. The old women we would always pass who didn't have any teeth. Popcorn, pasta, movies,soccer, and swimming in the road.
I am caught up in my life right now working at the church. A lot has happened and I have a lot of responsibility. Yet every chance I get I travel back to Haiti in my mind and tell people about the amazing people who live there.
I miss you, I love you and please know that I have not forgotten.
