It’s times like these when I thank God we don’t have cable tv. I know I would be glued to the screen, watching every horrible moment of the tragedy in Haiti. I have not seen many pictures either, but just from what I have read about the situation, I already want to adopt all the orphaned children. My heart breaks thinking of the immense sadness and collective grief of a nation; children who lost their parents, parents who had their children ripped out of their lives. Entire families just gone. An entire city wiped out.
When I first heard about the earthquake and the insane amount of people killed and injured, I was so saddened. I remember holding my baby so tightly throughout the next few days, giving her lots of extra hugs and kisses. I heard stories of mothers digging through rubble to get to their babies, and people dying from simple broken bones, because they couldn’t get treatment. It all seems so unfair.
As a mother, sometimes the world seems so scary and filled with things to worry about. I constantly find myself fighting the urge to think about all the horrible things that could happen to my baby, my husband, or myself. I can’t imagine a world where I would have to live without my family. For that matter, I can’t comprehend the concept of death at all. Much less so a death that would occur so suddenly, so unfairly, and so massively.
I count my blessings every day and am so thankful for everything I have. I try not to ever take it for granted. If you believe in prayer, please pray for the people of Haiti. If you have any money to spare, even 10 dollars, please send what you can to the people of Haiti. They need it now much more than we do.
