A beautiful sight in a tragic situation...

This photo is both heartbreaking and encouraging at the same time. Despite all the turmoil around, Renante Taris breastfeeds her son, Erikson, comforting him in this gentle mothering way like nothing else can. Renante and her toddler are at a hospital in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

Prayers for those in Haiti

I can't even imagine what they are going through. All the devastation, the pain, the suffering...My heart breaks when I think of how many lives have been lost...how many children are now orphans, how many mothers have lost children...how many families are now incomplete...my heart just breaks. There seems to be a catastrophic natural disaster so often now. It seems like not long ago we were hearing and watching the news coming from the Indonesia earthquake and the Philippines Typhoon...so sad.
