The next day in church we had a missions sermon. At the end Marilyn Tolbert got up to read a list of needs of missionaries around the world. Tears started to stream down my face as they mentioned the children without food, parents dying of diseases, but the flood gates opened when she spoke of how many children in Africa die of Malaria. I looked over at Torrey to see his tear stained cheeks as we imagine our daughter as one of those "statistics." We cannot even imagine if she would not have reached the Care Center in time before the Malaria racked her body 2 weeks after coming into care. To imagine our little girl... full of life and joy, losing her life to the high uncontrollable fever caused by a single mosquito bite is heart wrenching. I cannot even fathom the grief of the parents in Africa who do not have access to these basic (inexpensive by US standards 50 cents) medications needed to combat the illness.
