Inspiring story from CNN’s Belief blog<\/a> today on two Haitian friends reunited after the January quake for the first time. <\/p>\n

The arduous trip begins from a city on fire.<\/p>\n

Falone Maxi steps into the white Nissan Patrol, a small back nylon
\nbag and an Avis car rental map of Haiti in hand. She is determined to
\ncontinue her journey with this important trip north, even amid the
\npost-election turmoil in her homeland.<\/p>\n

Almost a year after a devastating earthquake, angry Haitians are
\nhurling tragedy’s rubble into the streets, setting tires, buildings and
\ncampaign signs ablaze.<\/p>\n

“Are we going today? What time will you pick me up?”<\/p>\n

She awoke with the kind of nervous excitement that the wife of a

\nsee Mica Joseph, the woman who now means more to her than her own
\nsister.<\/p>\n
