I am also praying for the rescue workers to be able to get the supplies to those in need in a timely fashion.<br /><br />You are right though, when you personally know someone who has loved ones over there, you realize it's real.Karen, author of "My Funny Dad, Harry"http://www.karenzemek.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28272371.post-80646484347730445752010-01-17T23:42:58.489-05:002010-01-17T23:42:58.489-05:00Condolences to Nelly and the strength to carry on ...Condolences to Nelly and the strength to carry on so far from home.

Thank you.<br /><br />It is so easy to shut-out the news stories because "it's so far away" or simply because it is heart-breaking to see all the devastation.<br /><br />Locally, we know of at least two Americans that were killed. One women, close to my age, was over there with her church. The other was a young man, just starting a new position with a government agency. The mother is assuming he is dead because she has not heard from him and his hotel collapsed. They have not found him as of a few days ago.<br /><br />Yes, now it's a bit more personal.ReformingGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990465686765948682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28272371.post-81073173083056142042010-01-17T10:23:48.689-05:002010-01-17T10:23:48.689-05:00Too bad for her and Haiti.

We're all different until something like this occurs and then suddenly we're all on board for the common good!Donniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05463060912068044225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28272371.post-9045875328597996412010-01-17T05:19:06.119-05:002010-01-17T05:19:06.119-05:00A very touching post.
