for a couple weeks, there has been one story that i have heard from the aftermath of the quake in haiti that has stayed present in my mind and weighed heavy upon my heart. it is that of a mother who lost four of her five children in the quake only to lose the fifth remaining child after wards. the immensity of those loses seem incomprehensible to me. when i saw the news story, i felt my heart break wide open for her. i know she isn't the only one. our donations felt futile when i thought of the magnitude of her grief. i have held my own babes a bit tighter since. so to this mother, a woman i will never meet, i send you the collective strength of all mothers and i want you to know that i carry you in my heart.
