Connected





Our sponsored child, Michael's, father is about to die. He has some sort of cancer.
It's strange to be connected,in a way, to someone across the world, someone you have never met, in a place you have never been.
Crying for a child who is about to experience something I never have seems like such a paltry offering in a time like this, but it's all I can do. My heart hurts for him.
Christie was able to buy his dad a bed so he could die in relative comfort. She thinks he may weigh less than 70 pounds.
Michael has 4 brothers and sisters, and a mother. Please pray for comfort for his father Charles, and for the family to get through this difficult time.
