This is the email that I sent out yesterday:
Dear friends and family,
It is with tears that I inform you that our little boy, Habakkuk, is home with Jesus instead of with us.
After recovering from malaria, Habakkuk and his older brother, Michael, stayed with a foster family in Monrovia, Liberia. Yesterday, Habakkuk was very ill and was taken to a medical facility. He died there last night of cholera.
Cholera is caused most often by drinking dirty water. In its most severe forms, cholera is one of the most rapidly fatal illnesses known. In a common scenario, the disease progresses from the first liquid stool to shock in 4 to 12 hours, with death following.
Habakkuk was 2 1/2 years old. He lived with his maternal grandparents until recently. He is deeply loved by his family in Liberia as well as our family, as the son and brother we never met.
Please pray for his brother, Michael, and his grandma as they grieve. And pray for us too.
Thank you.
Peggy
