Haiti, part 2

“Always toward absent lovers love’s tide stronger flows.” -Sextus Propertius

This is Cassie again…  I googled the phrase “absence makes the heart grow fonder” today.  I’m not much of an eloquent speaker. No, the best description of my communication style is probably reiteration.  I’m trying to quit (or at least improve), but really…I am the queen of rephrasing my point at least 3 different times in one little chat. Good grief.  How annoying that must be for those around me.  Anyway, it always fascinates me when people can speak in prose.  I was thinking today of how whenever I’m absent from my husband and missing him desperately, this cliche little phrase so accurately relates my emotions.  And I was wondering who it was that could describe things so perfectly.  Turns out (according to The Phrase Finder) the original saying came from a Roman poet named Sextus Propertius.  Sextus?  Really?  Poor guy.  I do like his version better, though.

Here is the second installment of pictures from Tyler’s trip to Haiti.  Wow is about all I have to say.  I always love how I can catch glimpses of my husband’s heart in the moments he captures so perfectly.  Because, photography is Tyler’s style of communication…and he is eloquent.

The beautiful little girl in green and white is melting my heart.

Another member of the Edge Outreach team that Tyler went with to Haiti is Kevin Bryan (in the orange hat below).  He’s a coworker of mine at City on a Hill Productions and a great cameraman.  As you can see, he’s got himself a Haitian protégé!  I love it!
