Losing My Daughter Made Me Fight For A Healthier World
Emily was two and a half years old. She was a beautiful blonde toddler with a shy and quiet nature. For most of her life we lived in Niger. I always thought (and I still do) that it was a wonderful place for our children to grow up. I look back on the nine years we spent in Niger as among the happiest years of my life. I vividly remember the afternoon we spent relaxing at the pool of the old French club. Emily was full of life — jumping and splashing in the pool with all the others. We went to church on the Sunday evening in a nearby village the night before she died.
