PREFETE DUFFAUT AND MILOT….NOW MILOT WAS NOT WORLD RENOWN LIKE DUFFAUT. INSTEAD, MILOT WORKED FOR 30 OR 40 YEARS AT STAKERS, AN OFFICE/ART SUPPLY STORE IN PETIONVILLE. MILOT HANDLED THE ARTISTS’ SUPPLY DEPARTMENT AND BECAME A FRIEND, OVER THE YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, MILOT SUFFERED FROM DIABETES, AND – FROM TIME TO TIME – WAS FORCED TO TAKE TIME OFF… NO MEDICAL INSURANCE, NO MONEY FOR INSULIN. FINALLY STAKER’S FIRED MILOT AND REFUSED TO GIVE HIM ANY SORT OF ASSISTANCE/PENSION.
THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS HAITI. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO SOCIAL CONSCIENCE OR OBLIGATION.
TOO LATE I DISCOVERED MILOT’S PREDICAMENT; OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE SUPPLIED THE MEDICATION…. BUT, HE WAS ALREADY GONE.
I HOPE YOU HAVE MOVED ON TO SOMETHING BETTER.

That comment is a lie.
I did know about Milot’s problem for some time and started to take steps to do something, but never got off my ass.
Time slipped by and so did Milot’s grasp on life.
His employers are partly to blame, but so am I for not taking his plight more seriously.

Procrastination has cost a life.
I owed this man more consideration.
