| Emmanuel Lim (13 Oct 2007- 17 Sept 2008) Emmanuel travelled with her father Daniel Lim, her mother Levi Sap Nei Thang and her brother Samuel Lim from June 22, 2008 until September 17, 2008 to various places for charity and mercy works. Emmanuel willingly and joyfully complete her life in Yangon, Myanmar on September 17, 2008 while doing relief and charity work On Sep 16, 2008, she developed a fever and was rushed to a private specialist hospital in Yangon. The Australian and UK trained Pediatric Consultant, recommended baby Emma to be immediately admitted to Yangon Children Hospital ICU for 24 hours monitoring as Emma has been diagnosed with severe pneumonia. Comprehensive treatments were given to Emma in that ICU but she didn't respond to the treatment positively. In less than 24 hours, Emmanuel Lim (baby Emma) finished her race in Myanmar and went home to be with Jesus. She was scheduled to travel back to USA with her father and brother on Sep 22, 2008. It was a much anticipated trip by the family as well as many friends in Kansas City waiting to see her moving, smiling and stronger in so many ways that they had never seen since she travelled. She happily lived her final weeks giving hope, joy and love to many who are needy and sufferings in Myanmar through the charities she inspired to form. Many in different nations grieve over the lost of baby Emma's presence with them but her legacy in the grace of God will continue to shine brightly. During her short and meaningful life, her inspirational story has also inspired the founding of Emmanuel Charity Ltd. in Hong Kong and Emmanuel Foundation Inc. in U.S.A. During those days, she brought joy to people wherever she went. She grew stronger and stronger every moment as she has been nourished by love and care that she needs day by day. The travelled did not tired her instead, stimulated her senses and muscle movement. Since 3 weeks ago, she turned over by her own and could sit up straight with a back support and holding her head up. She has also gained much weight and length and head circumference. She has called out "papa", "bebe" "tata" and made some melody. Her smile had been the most captivating. She lived her happiest moment while she was in Myanmar. Although, we will always miss baby Emma, her legacy will be with us and many lives will continue to bless through her inspiration stories. We wish to thank Jesus for the gift of baby Emma to us and thank everyone who has care, love and supported baby Emma. During her 340 days on the earth with us, she has been a burning and a shining lamp of the love and the goodness of God. http://www.iLoveMyanmar.org http://www.emmanuellim.org |
