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!!
I cried when you passed away. I
still cry today. Although I loved you dearly, I couldn't
make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, happily at rest.
God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the best. I
still miss you know even though you already know that! And
I'm sure I'm not the only one missing you!

Remember this Christmas when your eating your
dinner, smiling and laughing,
that in another house there's an empty
chair where a hero should be sitting. They
gave up their lives so you could sit with your
family, so light a candle for
the heroes who did not make it back and for
those who are still serving out in
Afghanistan.
