haiti
so i was watching the news, saw how badly haita was hit by t.s. jeanne. i realized how lucky we are here in this country, to have the systems we do, even if they do need serious tweeking. haiti has nothing. NOTHING. they are the poorest country in the western hemisphere. so close to the richest country in the world. ironic, huh?
then i remembered the woodalls. they were the family taking care of williannie alexis, the very first patient i fell in love with and then lost. this family is amazing. incredible. after sponsering her in this country, they were so affected by her, they moved to her native haiti and are working as missionaries. so i emailed them, and i hope they can give me information on how to help. part of me would love to go down there and work with them. i may still. i dont know how we could afford that. i'd love to bring billy down and he could do electrical work too. maybe we can do that when things get a little better, we can take a month off and go. bring our kid too. that would be so incredible. my soul would burst. and i'd love to share that with billy. i have such strong dreams of doing something like that. the things i would learn from them...i could never be taught these things in a book. by a tv. it would be real. life. i have to do this. my heart soars just thinking about it! *sigh*

You amaze me. If only more people had even half the kindness and tolerance that you have in your soul.
