Sad News...


I recieved some sad news today. It was a letter from LaDawn, who handles the adoption paper work at GLA, in Haiti. Apparently, little Silvio, whom I've often referred to as 'my baby', and who I worked with quite a bit while I was at the orphanage, passed away suddenly. I guess it was a snap back to the reality of life in Haiti, for me. I'd almost forgotten what it felt like to be surrounded by so much suffering and grief all the time. GLA is like an oasis, in the middle of it all, but I guess there's no escaping reality. I know I'm headed for some tough times this year in Haiti, so I'm asking for your prayers to get through it. I have no doubt that God will sustain me, on the prayers of my brothers and sisters in Christ.

That poem is awesome. I was at GLA in June, and Sylvio was one of my little guys too. I know exactly how you feel. Another one of my babies passed away last week too...it's definately rough.

Hey Stacey, when I heard the news I instantly thought of you. I hope your doing okay.
I am very excited(and a little jealous) of you going back to HAiti. I hope you enjoy your time there.
Sorry we haven't kept in touch since I left!! I'm so bad at that. Luv ya!

Stacey,
Even though you won't be able to hold Sylvio, Jesus can. I'll keep praying for you.
