Here I share with you an image and subsequent text that I came across at Facebook. Beautiful and moving indeed.
Below is a mother protecting her child, found by the rescue operations officials after the Japanese Tsunami. Both had Died.
This is a true story of
Mother’s Sacrifice during the China Earthquake.
After the Earthquake had
subsided, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman’s house, they
saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she
knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping; her body was leaning forward,
and her two hands were supporting by an object. The collapsed house had crashed
her back and her head.
With so many difficulties,
the leader of the rescuer team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to
reach the woman’s body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive.
However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.
He and the rest of the
team left this house and were going to search the next collapsed building. For
some reasons, the team leader was driven by a compelling force to go back to
the ruin house of the dead woman. Again, he knelt down and used his had through
the narrow cracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he
screamed with excitement,” A child! There is a child! “
The whole team worked
together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead
woman. There was a 3 months old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under
his mother’s dead body. Obviously, the woman had made an ultimate sacrifice for
saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover
to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team
leader picked him up.
The medical doctor came
quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cell
phone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said,” If
you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cell phone was
passing around from one hand to another. Every body that read the message wept.
” If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Such is the mother’s
love for her child!!
