George

George is one of the people that I met on my trip to Haiti.  He is a Nurse Practitioner that I worked with.  He is an absolutely amazing person.  We had so much fun together.  He inspired me so much with his generous giving.  And his humble attitude.  I am so fortunate to have met people like him on the trip.  I received an e-mail from him and it just made me smile and laugh. 

Here is what he said:

Glad to have found you Easy to tell you are the sunshine in many people's lives, just by looking at the comments. It makes me laugh to think about how I, in a surge of brotherly concern for your safety, rushed to the morgue to protect you from any unknown dangers when you went looking for transportation for the elderly woman who died in our tent. I found you surrounded by those, obviously interested young men. Although you had the situation well in control, I offered to serve as your protction in the form of your husband. Whether or not they got that word or believed it, I felt honored you would allow me the dignity of being your protector.

I absolutely love that guy!

I am back!

Just got back yesterday from my medical mission in Haiti.  I can't wait to start blogging about my experience there, but for now, I am just very very tired.  More tired than I realized I would be.  But to sum up my experience there, let me say this:

It was amazing! It was tiring, frustrating, annoying, heartbreaking, sad, happy, awe inspiring, humbling, delightful, and tender.
