Today is the fifteenth anniversary of the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Although it was a long time ago now, I still remember the details of that afternoon and evening, and the aftermath, with great clarity. I've written about it so much here, especially in the months I spent with my children in the US right after it happened. I couldn't stop replaying it, thinking of all the different aspects of the suffering it caused.
Now, of course, Haiti is in a different kind of crisis. Here's RFI's article from today, commemorating the earthquake and describing the current situation.

Wow. Fifteen years. And the aftershocks have not diminished. Similarly, I'm sure the fires in CA will continue to smolder in people's hearts for years to come, as will the high water marks from Helene.
