Haiti on my mind

I've been home for almost two weeks now. It's hard to answer all the questions people have about Haiti, my answers are inadequate. Nothing I can say will ever come close to being able to have people understand the amount of devastation that was seen there. And even with that, the incredible amount of joy and love that was present everyday continues to blow my mind.

I go to sleep thinking of Haiti, and when I wake, my first thought is of Haiti. The time spent there was like trying to drain the ocean with a thimble.

My daughter will be making her third trip to New Orleans this summer to continue in that effort to help rebuild the city. If a place like New Orleans, which is in the United States, one of the richest nations worldwide, is still in recovery from August 2005, what chance does Haiti have?
