Mom In Tears.

When you beget a child, the happiness is so overpowering ,that you forget the pain  during labour and the toil you endure  during all the ten months of pregnancy. Seeing your child for the first time,is a bliss that is inexplicable, a joy that cannot be expressed ..Fondling the child for the first time, nestling her close to you, caressing her body, running the fingers through her hair , holding her tightly, are all experiences that cannot be put in words. A poet, while describing the mother’s nascent desire  may miss the most intimate feelings. A scupltor,  while  carving the figure of a mother with a new born child, may unknowingly slip to create the  mother’s intricate affection  A painter , while sketching the new born with the doting mother errs a little in portraying the sweet  smothering elation  .Such a wonderful  loveliness prevails over this beautiful bondage.

Taitasi Fitiao,  ran to her daughter,s school  in Samaon islands ,early Tuesday, when an earthquake shook the terrain, as the magnitude was violent , -8.0.She caught hold of Valjorefa,took a few steps. The wave got them, the child let go the mother’s hand. She floated away , crying “Mom, please”. The mother stood watching her youngest daughter drifting away, floating in the terrible waves.

The next day , they found her in her school backpack and uniform. The mother could not believe that her daughter was dead. The child lay in the school uniform. The family plans to bury her with her uniform, her notebooks, crayons and backpack, as she loved her school much.

Tragedy strikes  with unknown strength, with unbelievable  force,from unexpected quarters. The child is gone forever. The mom is in tears, which will dry in course of the day, but the grief is so enamouring ,so consuming and so stifling

A part of Taitaisi Fitiao has floated with her pretty daughter.
