126 The Unforgettable Moments in Life

grandparents knew they had to be strong and find a safe place. They found a room with no

windows or glass. They crawled in and bent down, hands shaking, counting to ten; then it started.

“ BOOM, BANG, BOOM BOOM” the explosion was so strong, the house roof was peeling off

the house itself. The burning from the sky came down onto the lovely skin of my great-great

grandparents like flowers but way worse.
Finally, the ashes from the cloud burst came down. Their clothing wasn’t enough. They

tried so hard to find clothing, but it wasn't helping. Then the same soldier came to them asking

them if they were ok. “Are you okay? Can you hear me?” My great-great grandpa's hands were

still covering his ears. His ears were ringing. Tears streamed down his face from the pain. They

went to tents that were set up with medication and first aid. The soldier checked his ear. After

getting checked, they had to stay in a tent with blankets and pillows. My great great grandparents

sang and prayed all night thanking God because they survived and most had not.

Because of the event my great great grandparents survived, and this tradition been has

held through our family bloodline. We give thanks to the Lord and celebrate our family’s

survival.
