Today Mr Robert Rotich is not only widowed but also grappling with taking care of their three-year-old child, Ezra Kiprotich, who has cerebral palsy.
His other child, five-year-old Cynthia Cherotich, has been taken in by relatives as they try to ease his pain.
Charlotte was diagnosed with cancer while pregnant with her second child.
Day after day, he watched helplessly as his wife of five years endured the pain and suffering that bone cancer had dealt her, later spreading to her breast and literally sucking the life out of her.
Charlotte, his dear wife of five years, was wasting away — with her right hand falling off after the bones became as thin as a needle.
