Wow....I just cannot look at anymore coverage of the devastation in Haiti. As a mom, and a nurse, it just makes me crazy. Like everyone else in the world, I want to help and other than pray, and send some money to the relief efforts, that's all I can do. I think part of the reason this makes me soooo crazy is because almost six months ago, my child was hurt and received almost immediate care, that saved his life. I can assure you, there is no more desperate feeling than that of a parent or loved one, staring into the face of your own kid, when his/her life is on the line. Just knowing that Brian was getting the best trauma care available, did a LOT to comfort me. I cannot imagine the trauma parents, family, and especially children must be feeling. Until recently, they could do very little to help even their own children/family/friends. Talk about feeling powerless.... I can hardly wrap my brain around it.
Haiti had squat nothing to start with, and now this?? Ahhhhh...it just makes me ache, so I'm taking a Haiti holiday. That doesn't mean I've forgotten about it or that I won't continue to send prayers. And I'd send more money if my last name was Astor, but it's not, so I have done my part, in the dinero department. Please help if you can. But for the grace of God, it could have been us.
