...turns out, much tougher than we are. Maybe its because they have to be. We got a little girl last night who fell off a roof, we thought for sure she was pretty much screwed. Turns out, she woke up this morning, came off the vent and I just left her eating some dinner. There are also these itty bitty 3 LB babies, it seems like they just decide they're going to make it and eat like little champs. The line between life and death here is much less gray then at home. The death process here is a whole lot different, i'll have to touch on that later, i'm figuring it out myself.
Hopefully tonight i'll be able to go to the UN again. Last night things got crazy and we stayed to help. Driving to the UN is beautiful, you can see the whole mountain side lit up. Its really crazy because there are these beautiful mountains on one side and a beautiful ocean, and this little bit of crazy down in the middle. Its been sunny and HOT every day, I run between the buildings to avoid any bad tan lines :-/
Alright, one more hour, then i'm off for Haitiain beers, its quite good.

We miss you lots. Hang in there. Here's to a large Haitian beer. Dad was just saying he hoped you were having a beer and grandma called to tell us you posted on your blog. Sounds like things are very different there. It must be strange to be some place where the line between life and death is even thinner than here. Sending lots of prayers and love. Mom and Dad

ReplyDeleteTracy, it sounds like you are having quite the adventure. Just had news story on tv regarding Haiti and if they are rebuilding as quickly as they could, questioning where has all the money gone. Raise a Haitian beer for your mom as you wish her Happy Birthday! Take care. Aunt Karen
