A man's hands are meant to protect the ones he loves

No. 134 The story introduced this time

Here, we feature stories that have become topics on the internet and in the news as "stories so moving they bring tears to your eyes," along with videos uploaded to YouTube and other platforms.

This time, we are introducing a post from a man who says he was saved by "someone" when he was in elementary school during a fire.

*Regarding the posting date
The posting date could not be confirmed.

There was a YouTube video based on this story, so I will introduce it as well.

Post content

I don't have a father.

He apparently passed away from cancer long before I was born, shortly after my younger sister was born.

One day, when my sister and I were in elementary school.

We were relaxing after coming home from school when a fire broke out at our neighbor's house, and the flames spread to our house in an instant.

My mother was at work and not home.

I tried to take my sister's hand and escape from the room, but the doorknob had been melted by the heat of the fire, and it seemed impossible to get out.
(At this time, I burned my right hand.) The room was on the second floor, and we couldn't escape through the window either.

Until help arrived, I wrapped my sister in a futon and held her desperately to protect her from the heat.

However, both my sister and I were reaching our limits...

That was when it happened.

Someone wrapped their body around us.

We were saved safely, and I don't remember how we escaped from the house.

However, what I faintly remember at that time is the face of my mother, who was crying uncontrollably when we were saved.And, what I heard in the middle of that fire

And, what I heard in the middle of that fire

"Your hands must hurt... You did a great job. A man's hands are meant to protect the ones he loves."

Those words, and the fact that someone had been holding us the whole time.

If I recall correctly, that person had a shaved head, slightly drooping eyes, and a scar under his left eye.

Later, when we were older, our mother gave us letters from our father.

Inside were several family photos from when we were just born.

The father smiling in the photos had a shaved head, slightly drooping eyes, and a scar under his left eye.

The faint, typo-ridden letter was barely readable, and at the end of the letter, it was written like this:

"A man's hands are meant to protect the ones he loves. Even if I go to the afterlife, I will protect my family."

I am going to be a father soon.

I will protect my wife and my unborn child with these hands, just like you did.
