So much she loved
This is a true story of a mother’s sacrifice
during an earthquake in Japan.
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 the posture of her body was
somehow strange as it appeared to be kneeling like that of a person who was
worshipping; the body was stooping forward, but her two hands were supporting
an object.
The collapsed house had crushed her
back and head.
With much difficulty, the leader of
the rescue team put his hand through the narrow gap on the wall to reach the
woman’s body.
He hoped that this woman could still
be alive.
However, the cold and stiff body told
him that she had long been dead.
He and the rest of the team left this
house and went to search the next collapsed building.
For some reasons, the team leader was
driven by a compelling instinct to go back to the ruined house of the dead
woman.
Again, he knelt down and poked his
hand through the narrow crack to search the little space under the dead body.
Suddenly, he screamed, “A child! There
is a child!”
The whole team worked together;
carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman.
They found a three-month-old child wrapped
in a blanket under his mother’s dead body.
Obviously, the woman had made an
ultimate sacrifice to save her baby.
The medical doctor came quickly to
examine the little child.
As he opened the blanket, he saw a
cell phone tucked beside the infant.
There was a text message on the phone’s
screen, which said: “Dear baby, if you can live, always remember that I loved
you.”
