It’s hard to believe that just over 3 weeks ago I left home
for my adventure back to Haiti for my third trip.
I am so blessed to be able to say that this is my third trip
and that all my trips have been funded by some amazing people back home, who
know my love for Haiti and continue to support me year after year! Thank youJ
I think back to two years ago as a first timer to Haiti at
18 years old.
2 years ago my life was changed, in many many ways.
I came home a different person.
A changed person.
A girl with a different appreciation for life, and for the
many “things” I have back home.
Running, clean water
Health Care
Schooling
A family
A house
Food
My car
Warm showers
Air conditioning
A job
A toilet
Smooth, paved roads
And the list goes on and on….
It’s crazy to think how one trip, 3 weeks, changed the
person who I would be for the rest of my life. It turned my world upside down and back again, all in a good
way!
I am forever changed and so grateful that I am.
I will continue to visit Haiti and do as much as I can to
help those near and afar.
With only one week left I reflect on my thoughts today and
have very mixed feelings.
Yes don’t get me wrong I am VERY excited to see everyone
back at home, sleep in my bed, etc, but the thought of leaving makes me sad
knowing that it will be at least another year or more until I am back again.
One day I hope to spend more than a month in Haiti, but
until then I will soak up my last week with my kiddos and give them as much
love as possible!
