It´s been four years today since our Grandmother passed away and in remembering her all I can think about is the suffering and pain those in Haiti must be feeling to have lost so many loved ones. We lost our Grandmother, but how many lost their entire family? We lost our Grandmother, but how many lost their entire family and their homes? We lost our Grandmother, but how many in Haiti lost almost everything they loved and lived for?
Losing a loved one is never easy, regardless of who you are or where you are. That being said I would like everyone to take one minute today and think about loved ones they have lost. As time goes on and you get back to your "normal" life it´s supposed to get easier and for many it does. You remember those you´ve lost, but you still have many more that surround you. You have your home, your car, your work, your education and so many more things. In thinking about this I wonder, how easy will it be for those in Haiti?
I dedicate this blog today to our Grandmother and to all those loved ones that we´ve lost along the way. I would also like to dedicate it to the people of Haiti. Let´s support the people like Elena and so many others that are helping Haiti get back to a "normal" life so that hopefully someday things will be easier for them too.
As for Elena, no news yet, but she said tomorrow she would be going back to Santo Domingo so we´ll hopefully hear from her soon.
I hope you have a great day and please keep Haiti and your loved ones in your thoughts.
If you want to see some children smiling, despite their pain please go to the MOSCTHA facebook site. There are some great pictures!
