Mom' s Last Words



When rescuers found her, she had died because of collapsed rubble. Her body was in a kneeling position, which appeared odd. After confirming her death, rescuers were going to move to other collapsed buildings. The rescue team leader checked again and stretched under the lady's body. Suddenly he shouted out, " a baby, still alive!".

After cleaning the ruin which covered the lady, a baby was found alive under his mother's body, wrapped in a small red quilt. The baby was only 3 or 4 months old and unharmed due to her mother's protection. He was still sleeping deeply and his face warmed the hearts of those people in the site.

The doctors checked him and found a cell phone wrapped with him. A written short message displayed on the cell phone screen: "Dear babe, if you are alive, you must remember Mama loves you so much!".
