My sympathy is with you, Cryssa, but also my admiration in the way you composed a notable poem that tragically compares your own need to breath with the suffocation of far-away victims of the tragedy. It touches the soul...Jerry

I am with you Cryssa. I know how you feel right now. I understand your need to breathe. The clouded sky will soon be clear again. Where there is love there is hope.

My prayers and financial aid have been sent and will continue. Liz

Cryssa,my heart aches for you,how utterly devastating this one is,and still those sweet loving haitians sing and praise the Lord in the streets~ A great example to us all! My thoughts and prayers are with them, I also sent what I could. I hope you are holding up through it,you are also in my prayers.A superb,poem!

Love and hugs,
Eileen

Such tragedy indeed.
I pray all are well in this tragic time.
Yet it takes such an awful event for man to show his mutual heart.
Hold on tight.

He has the whole world in His hands.... an old familiar Sunday school song came to mind. Bless you, J'nia

DEAR CRYSSA HOW I DO WELL UNDERSTAND THIS WORK...INDEED I KNOW YOUR HEART IS HEAVY AND YOUR MIND IS FILLED WITH CONCERN FOR YOUR DEAR FRIENDS IN HAITI. I PRAY THAT ALL THINGS ARE AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THEM...KNOWING THE GREAT BURDEN THEY ALREADY BEAR. CRYSSA...ALL OF YOUR FAITH THAT WE HAVE BUILT UP OVER THE YEARS...ALL OF THE STRENGTH THAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU FROM DAY TO DAY MUST NOW BE USED AS NEVER BEFORE. BREATHE...FOR HE IS CARRYING YOU AND WILL NOT FAIL YOU OR THOSE FOR WHOM WE PRAY. MY PRAYERS ARE
FOR THEM AND YOU AND YOURS. MAY YOU FEEL HIS PRESENCE MIGHTILY. GOD BLESS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I feel for you, Cryssa, knowing how much you love Haiti, plus some of your children came from there. I can understand the pain you must be feeling at this time. My heart breaks for those people; they are in my prayers/thoughts (as are you and your family)! Well done!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( *tears!*

Dear Cryssa, If I were the president, I would make a partnership with this Island. Instead of stimulus. Let Haiti have a special status. They suffered too much. It is time that we share our bread with them. My prayer and love go to them. Cryssa, don't let the dust cover the light that is in you. Remember your own poem "Haiti in my Heart" Love Emile

A beautiful compassionate write.
The waiting - not knowing - is the hardest part.
Not knowing what to do
I'll pray for them
And you too.

"...I search for light and those I love..." it is a long long journey, one need to breathe as one climbs...

(((Cryssa)))

My heart sank when I heard the news ... you and your family and friends in my prayers.

Karla. :(

My prayers and thoughts are with you, Cryssa.

May God guide you through this horrible event and bring your friends home safe and sound. Keeping you in my prayers...

Be always safe,
Karen

It's just one thing after another... I see all the crumbled buildings in pictures and can only hope along with you, Hon... Can't help but wonder and worry about Gardy too in all of this.

I love you. Give my love to the clan. Tell them I'm praying too. --Charlie

This poem captures how I feel since I first heard the news about the earthquake in Hatti. I have some missionary friends who live down there and am waiting to hear how they are. I'm in prayer.
~Zach

Unimaginable horror.
If only horror was uncommon.
We all need a reminder to breathe...
While we can.
