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!
