GENESIS ROMANETTI -A CHILD HERO



Give THANKS & PRAISE for a very alert child at the age of five. It was indeed an extraordinary day, one never to be forgotten. A group of us were by the pool, there were two children, including my angel Genesis. The other little princess is two years young. I didn't know the people prior to meeting them at the pool. They were apparently visiting friends in the neighborhood. While we were all talking the little child kept on going back and forth on the pool step and was having a blast wetting her hair/head in the water, She couldn't swim but was having a great time playing with the water....Genesis was quite intrigued by the little girl. Her mother left her outside with us and came back with some rum and offered me some, I declined and told her that I didn't drink rum & told her I would much rather some ackee, noni or roots wine... The young ladies appeared surprised at my refusal of the rum. Anyway, while we were chit chatting; Genesis suddenly shouted out, MOMMY! THE BABY! "When I looked at Genesis who was outside of the pool, I realized the baby wasn't beside her the young ladies were oblivious as to what was going on. I then looked in the pool and saw that the little girl was drowning. I then shouted to the child’s mother, "THE BABY!!!!" She ran in the pool before I could get in and grabbed up her daughter, obviously she was in shock and as expected she was bawling. The child was crying & of course coughing from swallowing quite a bit of water.The mother was clearly frantic! She repeatedly asked, "Shannay are you okay?” While coughing the child said to her mother, "Mommy come out of the pool." Genesis was frightened and just stood there in awe. The mother shortly thereafter came out the pool and grabbed up Genesis and said THANK YOU GENESIS FOR SAVING MY BABY'S LIFE! She was so GREAT-FULL for Genesis and couldn't stop praising her. Later in the night the mother called me again thanking me for Genesis and said “your daughter is an angel.”
Children,once again I blissfully say, are REAL ANGELS. Though they can appear as brats or annoying; when we look beyond those petty emotions I can safely say, THEY ARE TRULY HERE TO STRENGTHEN, PROTECT AND GUIDE US! I love you my ANGEL GENESIS!
