Kaban ni D_BystandeR: DILI GAYUD MAHIBALOAN ANG KINABUHI
Life is really unpredictable! And who can
predict that their wedding day's schedule would be the day
"everybody will be on the run for their precious lives" because of
that powerful earthquake. But nobody can tell because as the saying goes,
"Only the events will tell us in each hour."
And who would know one of the greatest men
in our history books, William Churchill of Great Britain, will outlive the great
menacing tragedies that almost cost his life? At one time, while in the
battlefield in his early twenties (because England was engaged in countless
wars), he just transferred from his foxhole to another place when the spot he
just vacated was hit by a grenade lobbed from enemy's direction. And in his
early childhood, he experienced the most horrible incident at sea he can never
forget all his life. He was out in the sea one pleasant morning rowing his boat
just to have a little enjoyment of his childhood's adventure sniffing the early
morning breeze when all of a sudden a strong wind blew out from nowhere and he
found himself aimlessly drifting in the middle of the deep blue sea. But he was
miraculously saved of that breath-taking moment when, from the opposite direction,
this time a "friendly force" of a strong wind blew him to the shore and saved him only to find
himself that he was destined to capture a bigger share of the world's great history
- as one of the world's great men that essentially helped carved an
unforgettable chapter of man's greatness.
And who knows, this couple could also be
destined to accomplish some of the great
moments of their lifetime in the days to come with the help of our God
Almighty?
Note: This refers to a personal life story
of a lady who worked in the States and who opted to have her "long
table" held here in Cebu City. Unfortunately, the day she chose for her
wedding day happened to be where, of all the unexpected things to come, a
strong earthquake would rock Cebu and Bohol islands where an overall list of
casualties would reach 185 with Bohol paying the heavy toll in terms of lives
lost.
