It was today that the earthquake hit Haiti, today at 4:53PM only one month ago...
Where will you be today at 4:53 this afternoon?
One month ago, I could have been in Haiti. I actually left it up to the American Airlines customer service lady to pick any day in January for me to travel to Haiti...
She picked January 20th...
Where would I be at 4:53pm, one month ago, if she picked January 12th?
Last month, on January 12, 2010, at 4:52PM, I was on laying on my couch taking a nap.
Just like me, last month, there was a Haitian man, at 4:52PM, laying on his couch sleeping...
and at 4:53PM...
He was dead...
Him, his wife, his kids, his entire family, and more than 200,000 of his neighbors.
How can we ever forget this day, 01-12-10, 12 Janvier, 2010, we will never forget that day.
We can never forget that day, can you believe that it's been a month already?
How are we doing?
As for myself, I am hanging trouble sleeping at night, but I am not the important person in this equation...
I am alive, I am safe, and I am many miles away from ground ZERO.
I could talk for days but I think after watching a video of Andrise, a nine year old girl in Port-au-Prince haiti saying "We don't want to live this kind of life anymore" you realize that we are very far away from signing "Haiti Cherie, pi bon peyi pa se ou nanpwen."
Our friends at 112Haiti.com suggest a moment of silence for all who passed way on 01-12-10 at the time that the earthquake hit.
4:53:pm
Where will you be today at 4:53 this afternoon?
God Bless you, God bless the Haitian people, God bless the Republic of Haiti.
