Wow! I just viewed a video titled " For Better or For Worse" and it opened my eyes to a few very critical points, and moments that can occur during marriage. I have been married for 9 years now and the love i have for my husband surpasses the stars. I know i would do any and everything for him, and I know he would I. In this video an elderly married couple couple has been married has been married 62 years , and the wife Mary Triplet has onset Alzheimer's. Mary's husband Bernard takes care of her. Instead of putting Mary in an elderly care facility Bernard would rather do for his wife himself. That is a strong love that encourages and inspires me within my own marriage. I favor Mr. Triplet due to the fact there our days when Mrs. Triplet does not even recognize him, but in spite of the downfall he loves and cares her back to remembering. If this where my spouse and I , I know without a doubt I can do the same for him. This video gives true light to the phrase " in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
The Economy of a Tent City
Port-Au Prince Haiti suffered a devastating earthquake about a year ago and they are still trying to recover. As I viewed The Economy of a Tent City it left me in total awe. I began to think, and wonder if an earthquake hit my city would I be ready? Would my attitude bounce back from a sheer disaster, and leave me at least grateful? I had to ask myself this and deep down the answer is no! In Haiti they have built a whole new community out of tents. the people of Haiti are working and going on about their lives, and I know I would not be this strong . I consider the Haitian community over-comers due to the fact that although they make 30 cents an item they sell they can still smile. These strong survivors have built a tent community over a golf course; re-hatched their businesses, and continue to thrive. The Haitian community even enjoys a movie comedy for a meager fee of 30 cents, and yes they still laugh, and joke through it all. I looked in the mirror and said could I do what the residents Of Port-Au-Prince have done and are still doing? Still I have no answer.
