One year ago to day a devastating earthquake rocked Haiti. I will never forget where i was the moment i found out. I was at work my MOM called me and i called R from that moment on our lives would never be the same. R called our agency and a that point they did not even know that it had happened. So they did not have a lot of information to give us we just watched news coverage and waited.........
I did not post a lot when we were gong through it. The two weeks it took us to get Z were there most stressful weeks of our lives. The roller coaster of emotion waiting to see if she was even alive. I remember waking up one morning and telling R i can not do this anymore she must be dead and we have to find a way to go on. That day we found out she was with her birth mother and would join the group soon.
When we found out there was a group of people going to bring our kids home there was a relief that cam over us for a moment and then pure frustration. We waited and waited for news with a lot of disappointment that came along the way. Finally we had word that Z would be coming to the U.S.A and we would have to travel to Miami to pick her up.
Like i said our lives will ever be the same and we are just fine with that. We still think about the people of Haiti everyday and wish we could do more and wish more was being done to help rebuild the country. Haiti will always be a part of our lives and our hearts .
Just some thoughts and rambleings of some one you do not know or you think you know or you might know very well
