Haiti

the world is shocked by the magnitude of the disaster that hit Haiti this week.

personally, we share the pain of the two people we've come to trust with our most precious thing on earth: Ella.
Ella's daycare is run buy a couple from Haiti. Her teacher Coffy was raised there, and they both lived there with their kids for 6 years.
as of yesterday, they couldn't get in touch with his parents and brothers in Haiti. Yakini tells us that Coffy is broken (in fact, we didn't see him at all since the earthquake), doesn't sleep at night, and is thinking of ways to fly out there and look for his family in the rubles. it breaks my heart, and puts our daily troubles (e.g. Ella's sniffles that keep her up at night) in perspective.

we hope that everything is ok with Coffy's family and that once cell phones operate again they'll receive some good news.
