I tell them he’s sleeping but I can let you peep his crib. They come in and do seconds-long glances & one says: oh he’s so tiny.

Each life lost is too heavy, unnecessary and a failure on our part to protect them.

Earlier this month, our neighbours in Lower Kabete lost their six-months old son due to choking. It was so shocking and tragic.
Hearing that Nazizi lost her son is so sad and heartbreaking.
For parents (and children) mourning, may you find the grace and strength in this season.
