Reply #35: A bittersweet survival story

[IDDYBUD]

What a story. And what a beautiful child. It reminds me of something similar that happened a number of years ago after a terribe storm when a baby was found at the base of a tree covered in mud.

My heart goes out to Kyson and his surviving family members. We can only hope he remembers his mother..and that she's kept alive through the stories they'll tell him as he grows.
Knowing how a mother feels, always fiercely protective of her child, I'd wager that if she'd known it had to be her or Kyson, there would have been no choice. If there's any strange comfort to be taken away from this incident, I'd say that's where the family might find it.

Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) said that neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds. Kyson is living proof of his mother's existence and her love while she lived here.
