Loving This

I found this song on a blog I follow and I LOVE music that is written from the heart (and finding cool new artists).

First, I just like this song - just because, even if I didn't know this story.

Second, knowing the story certainly makes the flavor of the song even richer. The musician, Aaron Ivey has an adopted son, Amos, who is still in Haiti waiting to come home.

Now that you know the story listen, watch, and appreciate...



P.S. - Yesterday I came across a video on the Department of State's website about how they are responding to the disaster in Haiti. They have a hot line number, search and rescue teams, and State Department workers in Haiti (and the Dominican Republic) working around the clock to find American citizens. They have flown thousands of American citizens out of Haiti. I wish the video I watched was still up. It was fascinating.

Today the proclamations of the DOS website came to life when I had to call the US Citizen and Immigration Services customer service with an immigration issue. The poor operator was like "I am so sorry, we are experiencing a really high volume of callers right now with Haiti." I guess the USCIS call center has been helping out. Anyway, please notice on the DOS website that priority is being given to Haitian adoptions.
