A nightly ritual in our house - rabble rousing around the sink as the kids brush their teeth.
A friend of ours buried his 6 month old grandson today.
We were there with him as he picked up his daughter from the hospital and the baby, wrapped up snugly in a sitenge cloth.
We transported the family and the baby in our truck to the cemetery.
We were there as some of the family dug a tiny grave and gently place the baby in the ground.
We were there to grieve with them.
Below is just a representation of what cemeteries are like here in Lusaka. It is not a picture from today. Really, they are much worse than this.
Please pray for the mother, Cindy, and her family as they mourn the loss of Baby Kennedy.

This breaks my heart Robyn. So glad you and your family were there to comfort this family. Loss of a child has to be one of the hardest things we go through in this life. Prayers.
