Remembering Sakulu

Sakulu

Our “adopted” son/brother through Compassion, Sakulu, died last week and we just found out today. We are all very, very sad.

Sakulu, we know you had a hard life. We are sad you had to leave. We hope you are happy in Heaven. Though from our family, Craig was the only one to meet you in person, you were loved by all of us and we sincerely miss you.

Good-bye, little one.

  1. I am sorry for your sad news- I am sorry for his short, hard life. I love that in heaven God Himself wipes away every tear and death shall be no more- no more mourning, crying, or pain- Amen.

  2. How sad! once again it is a reminder of how blessed we are and how difficult it is for most mothers in the world who don’t assume that their children will live to grow up. m

    How very sad. Death and heartache are reminders that this world is not as it should be.

    I’m so sorry to hear that. I posted today about his death and about sponsoring through Compassion. It is such a blessing to be a part of the work there. One of our “sons” lost his father this year. It was heartbreaking… Partly because you really do get to know and love them through the letters and photos. Praying for his family today and yours. Love you, Jess

  6. I am so sorry to hear this sad news. We sponsor a Compassion child, too, and she feels like family. I think I know how you must feel. I’ll pray for you and your family.

  7. Megan,

    So sorry to hear of this.

    I am glad you were able to be part of each other’s lives!

  8. Oh, Megan…I am so, so sorry.

  9. breaks my heart—we truly don’t have a clue how good we’ve got it “over here.”

  10. i’m sorry megan, just now getting around to reading your blog this week. we have a child in india, as well…vidya is her name. we just began sponsoring her this summer. what a lovely child your sakulu was…do you know what happened? blessings.
