A matter of Perspective

I think life is about perspective. As we were driving to the feeding clinic today, I tried to look at Haiti as a "newcomer". My parents are coming to visit in a few weeks and I wondered what they would see, what would stand out, and how it would make them feel to know that we are here. Would their minds be eased at seeing where we are is not as horrible as the media sees it or would they feel more unsettled seeing giant UN tanks like this one. 
I finally decided it just depends on the person. For some people, well lets face it... for everyone who writes anything about Haiti, this is how they view Haiti. Dirty, Dangerous, and frankly full of the Devil.

For us, this is how we view Haiti. Full of future, happiness and beauty.
And how often can you literally walk out your back door and be in a place like this. Beauty beyond words. That is how we see Haiti.
