This morning I turned on the news while I was getting ready for the day. The news out of Haiti seemed grimmer and grimmer. I don't know if you have ever been there, but it is a very poor nation. It is hard to believe the swanky resorts of the Dominican Republic are on one side and then Haiti on the other. I can only imagine the devastation.
This is the Weeping Angel or the Angel of Sorrow. She was made for the wife of the sculptor - Story. I decided that she pretty much sums up how the survivors are feeling right now. I am hoping that there are angels watching over the people and their loved ones in Haiti. The world is weeping with you.
Last night, today and through the next couple of days, soldiers [over 900] and Marines [3,000] from North Carolina leave on a mission to help the people of Haiti. They are going to be facing some tough days. I am hoping you will join me in a little prayer that these men and women have a safe journey on this mission.
This is the most moving piece by the sculptor. Thank you for sharing, and your voice joins that of so many of us who are touched beyond belief by the dreadful tragedy in Haiti.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to the Red Cross to donate blood and a donation for the Haiti Relief Fund. Least I can do, I've donated before so I'm good to go.
