This brought tears down my eyes this morning...its a good read.
The Best Piece I've Read This Year!
In
the country of Armenia, in 1988, Samuel and Danielle sent their young
son, Armand, off to school. Samuel squatted before his son and looked
him in the eye. "Have a good day at school, and remember, no matter
what, I’ll always be there for you." They hugged and the boy ran off to
school.
Hours later, a
powerful earthquake rocked the area. In the midst of the pandemonium,
Samuel and Danielle tried to discover what happened to their son but
they couldn’t get any information. The radio announced that there were
thousands of casualties. Samuel then grabbed his coat and headed for
the schoolyard. When he reached the area, what he saw brought tears to
his eyes. Armand’s school was a pile of debris. Other parents were
standing around crying.
Samuel
found the place where Armand’s classroom used to be and began pulling a
broken beam off the pile of rubble. He then grabbed a rock and put it
to the side, and then grabbed another one.
One
of the parents looking on asked, "What are you doing?" "Digging for
my son," Samuel answered. The man then said, "You’re just going to make
things worse! The building is unstable," and tried to pull Samuel away
from his work.
Samuel
just kept working. As time wore on, one by one, the other parents left.
Then a worker tried to pull Samuel away from the rubble. Samuel looked
at him and said, "Won’t you help me?" The worker left and Samuel kept
digging.
All through the
night and into the next day, Samuel continued digging. Parents placed
flowers and pictures of their children on the ruins. But, Samuel just
kept working. He picked up a beam and pushed it out of the way when he
heard a faint cry. "Help! Help!" Samuel listened but didn’t hear
anything again. Then he heard a muffled voice, "Papa?"
Samuel began to dig furiously. Finally he could see his son. "Come on out, son!" he said with relief.
"No,"
Armand said. "Let the other kids come out first because I know you’ll
get me." Child after child emerged until, finally, little Armand
appeared. Samuel took him in his arms and Armand said, "I told the
other kids not to worry because you told me that you’d always be there
for me!"
Fourteen children were saved that day because one father was faithful.
LUV UR CHILDERN !!
