Words can't bring you down.
This is a true story of Mother’s Sacrifice during the Japan 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!!
When we figured out love is all that matters after all,
it sure makes everything else seem so small.
