Never ever. Part 2
Never ever. Part 2
tried to grab him by his hands but it was too late, i could not jump
into the river to save my son because i was too weak. It was 9:47pm and
i watched Clinton drown. None of us was able to utter a word because
from every indication, we will die one after the other.
The only
thing that did not occurred to me was to jump into the sea and end this
tragedy/fear that have engulfed me as we float and the water kept
drifting us, none of us could say exactly where we were at that point
in time. I guess by now we were hallucinating, i began to hear voices
and different kinds of unpleasant sounds. The Night came and once more
go without any sign of help.
As we continued floating and
waiting for our deaths to, i noticed a fire work then suddenly a touch
light pointed to our direction, i heard a voice shouting.
“There, they are, look at them”
It
was the Coast guard; they rescued us and transferred us onto their
boat. The time was 4:15am. We were transported to the Central Medical
Complex for treatment and after four hours of medical observation and
treatment, we were all certified to be in good shape. I was still
battered because of my son whom i know must have been eaten by fishes
or crocodiles.
Monday morning. 9;25am, just as i walked out of
the ward and headed outside the hospital, i saw my wife standing by the
car park ,beside her was someone who looked like Clinton, i robbed my
eyes a million times as i approached her to make sure that i was not
dreaming or hallucinating then the little boy ran towards me and was
shouting.
Daddy! Daddy! Daddy!
It was my son, it was
Clinton, i hugged him, lifted him up, with tears all over me and a
little bit of confusion. I heard him say “Daddy i love you.”
“I love you too son” i replied.
Tim
and Edward was standing dumb folded as i carried my son whom we all saw
fell into the river and drown, a little boy we were so weak to help.
“What happened”? I managed to ask him.
Let me allow Clinton to tell you guys the rest of the story. (We are the world).
I
don’t know how it happened but i realized that i slipped off the
Pirogue, i heard your voices and i heard Dad shouting my name then i
noticed that i was inside the river, deep down the belly of the river,
i saw so many beautiful fishes and they were smiling at me, then i felt
a hand on me, it carried me onto his back, it was like a man, he had
long hair, as he swam carrying me, many big fishes swam next to us.
All
of a sudden, i saw myself on the shore, i realized that i was standing
then i was able to look at the man who was walking back into the sea,
he was gladdened on a white cloth, i found my voice and shouted at him.
I said “Thank you but who are you”
He turned to me, his face was as bright as the sky and there was a star on his crown, then he said to me.
“Son, i am the lord your God. I am Jesus Christ”
That
was all i could remember as i watched him swim away then i saw the
coast guard boat approaching from the opposite direction, i waved at
them and told them about you and Uncle Tim. One of them took me to the
station and mum later came and picked me up. This is all i could
remember Dad.
Folk, you have heard Clinton, all i can chip into
our story is this. Our God is able, he is alive and he doesn’t sleep,
not for a second. He knows all our plights and sees all the dangers we
face and in any situation you are, he must surely come to your rescue
his own way, so no matter what you are passing through, NEVER EVER lose
hope for he will send his Son Jesus Christ to rescue you.
Tim has something to say because he has been silent all this while.
“Amazing grace how sweet thou sound, you rescued a wretch like me, i was lost but now am found”.
To God be the glory forever and ever.
The End.
