Another moving article by the Star's Catherine Porter, on the very different lives of two little girls, Lyla (Porter's daughter) and Lovely (the little Haitian girl who survived being trapped under rubble for 6 days).
"But does Lovely know about Lyla? I’ve shown her photos on my iPhone, only to get a blank stare. Perhaps it has registered that this strange white woman who shows up every other month has a little girl of her own. But how could she imagine our lives — a place with lots of food and buildings that don’t break, and schools that are free, and hospitals that don’t charge and dentists that give out stickers?
"I wouldn’t believe in such a world, if I was her. It would sound like a cruel joke."
