Today, just as we were about to start our second session of "Agita" (like VBS), a friend of Adesia's came and let her know that Rapha was now with Jesus. From what I understand, she was sent back to the ICU with water in her lungs on Friday, and today after her courageous fight, the Lord called her home.
Here's an excerpt from my journal today recalling the only time I met her, at the Children's Day Fiesta:
I only met her once, but that was plenty for her to make a lasting impression. Her entrance was as grand as her smile as she clutched her grandmother's hand and walked down the aisle. Lined with balloons, flowers, and people crying as they cheered her on, it was as if the aisle was just made for her. In the few hours she was there, you'd be hard-pressed to find her without her glowing smile brightening the room, even peeking out of her pacifier at times. Ear to ear her smile shouted joy that only Christ could give. Amidst her years of suffering and crying, she understood that this was her day, given by God himself, and she took full advantage.
She will never see another children's day, but we are the one's that are losing out, because today she is rejoicing with the angels. No more suffering, no more tears, no more pain. She is seeing Jesus face to face, and she now knows the joy and the peace and the love we all long for. Rest In Peace Raphaelly, we cant wait to see that beautiful smile again.
Please be praying for her family, she was her grandparents only granddaughter, her aunt's only niece, and her parents only child.
