In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. A father rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.
After the shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: “No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!” And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his promise to his son.
Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building, he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.
Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: “It’s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help! Face the reality, there’s nothing you can do!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins saying, “Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home.” This loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”
The police came and said, “You’re, anxious and it’s over. You’re endangering others. Go home. We’ll handle it!” He replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.
Courageously he went on alone. He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, in the 38th hour, he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s voice. He screamed his son’s name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad! It’s me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you’d save me and when you saved me, they’d be saved. You promised no matter what happened, you would always be there for me! You did it, Dad!” “What’s going on in there? How is it?” the father asked.
“There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. ”
“Come out, boy!”
“No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, because I know you’ll get me! No matter what happens, I know you’ll always be there for me!”
1989 年 8.2 地震几乎夷为平地美国,在不到四分钟内杀死超过 30000 人。父亲跑到他的儿子本来要只是为了发现大厦是平如煎饼的学校。在震惊之后,他想起他曾对儿子所作的承诺:"无论发生什么,我将永远有你!"眼泪开始填满他的眼睛。当他看着那一堆废墟,曾经的学校,真叫人绝望,但他一直到他的儿子记住他的诺言。他想起他儿子的教室应该就在大楼的后面,右上角,跑到那儿,开始在废墟中的挖掘。其他好心的父母试图把他拉掉了剩下的学校,说:"这是太晚了!他们都死了!你不能帮助!面对现实,你将无能为力!"他回答说:"你们愿意帮我吗?"消防队长出现了,试图把他拉离学校的废墟说,"火灾发生了,爆炸无处不在。你是在危险中。我们会照顾它。回家吧"。这种爱心,关怀的美国父亲问,"你们愿意帮我吗?"警察来了,说,"你急,它已经结束。你这样会危及他人。回家。我们会处理它!"他回答说:"你们愿意帮我吗?"没有人帮助。Courageously he went on alone.
