To Haiti with love...

This blog is in regards to the feelings I have in reference to the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti

From ancient times mankind has mourned its losses. Every culture has it's own distinct way of expressing grief. Even animals express grief and mourn those that are no longer with them...It's a sad fact that many people choose not set aside time to mourn, or even have a moment of silence, whether it's a family member or not. Mourning is necessary for one's mental health and stability and it's also a way for those still living to pay their respect to those who have passed away...

*A moment of silence for those who lost their lives*
The act of creating a memorial is a spiritual act. A memorial tells the world that even though an individual has lost their life, their spirit lives on. It makes a statement that that the individuals life mattered and will continue to matter. Their acts of courage and goodness will never be forgotten.
This is my memorial...
to Haiti with love
