This week I had another change to Skype with Martin. He was in the Hospice facility. His speech was not very clear but I recognized how he repeatedly said my name. It was so touching. I could talk with him for a bit and tell him that we pray for him and that I love him. Today in the morning I received this message from "big Martin".
Hi Maria,
Martin left us this morning at 8.00 in his sleep. Went and picked his body up and took it to Tigoni Mortuary in Limuru. We are planning to burry him on Tuesday. We are meeting tonight to plan. I will fill you in on details tomorrow. I had to break the news to the other children and it wasn't easy. Pray for Mama Margaret and the kids

I am so sad to hear that we lost Martin. Yes, of course I am happy for him that his battle has ended and that he is now with Jesus. My hope was to journey with him the last part of his life. God in His sovereign care chose differently.
My heart aches and cries for Martin. Sorrowful over such a young life lost to a horrible disease that roots in the greed of men. My comfort is that Martin is with Jesus and he is well. I can't express enough my gratitude to "big Martin" for all the love he showed to Martin and the children. Taking his little body to the Mortuary, planning the funeral. How much my heart longs to be there and to do some of these things for Martin. Please pray for all the children in the home and Mama Margret. Martin has a biological brother and some of the other boys were very close to him.
