Wow!!!

While watching "Help Haiti Now" was so heavy and even as I weeped during the entire time I watched I still cant take in all of what really happened. Their reality is their hell right now. However it does give them an opportunity to have more than they have ever had. It is amazing how it takes a great tragedy and many sacrifices to make things better most of the the time. That country had nothing and was living on a level that was unbelievable in 2010. So this tragic event has put a spotlight on a country that needed it a long time ago, this will allow them to get better homes, water, and so much more that would have taken years or may not even had happened if not for the earthquake that took place on that day. I am embarrassed to say I did not know that Haiti was the first black independent country. This world is filled with so much history that I have know knowledge of. This gives me an opportunity to dig deep and study to find out more about this world I live in and the people in it. I want to go to Haiti to help to do whatever I can, I look at the images and I see myself, my daughter, my mom, my dad, my brother,my nieces and my heart is broken. We need to embrace the country and their people and help them heal themselves and their land. Tragedy shows how when we are in pain we are all the same- we want to be loved, helped and understood. Help your neighbor whether next door or in a land far far away because we are all one....
