It was April 6, 2009 around 11:30 to 12:00 in the afternoon when we decided to go to Anawangin Cove.On the way their, we were so happy and excited to see all the views surrounds us.My husband took a lot of pictures.When we almost their I noticed that my husband`s face change.I felt he was scared and I even asked him if he is scared.No, he said.For the reason that I really appreciate what I am seeing, excitement gained back.A few meters away, the boat stopped.But still we were able to get into the Island.My family and a household arrived first.We shouted because of happiness we felt.Took a lot of pictures and wait for the rest (2 boats which consists 6-7 each).Few minutes later they arrived.12 people get into the beach.We were so amazed and impressed because few meters away from the shore the water was only waist level.I decided to took pictures first which is I dont usually do because I`m not much familiar with the features of of my husband`s camera.Around 12:30 the rest of the group arrived.Same with our reaction, they were excited and shouting too.Around 12:46 I stopped and joined with my family (11 and 10 year old boys and a 5 year old girl,my hubby,3 niece,3 household and 3 friends).Three steps away from the shore I noticed that water level became high.I`m about less than 5 feet in height and the water became chest level.Without hesitation,I shouted them to go back to the shore.To make sure that they would hear me enough I made another 3 steps and shouted again.And I realized that the water was almost on my eye level.Without turning back,I swam going back to the shore to asked for help.I was gasping for breath but it never stop me in spite that I hear helpless voices.I prayed to the Lord to allow me to go back to ask for a rescue.And I did it thru God`s help.I witnessed how they struggled most especially my husband who let himself drowned so he can save our 5 year old daughter who was so innocent and unaware that she might gonna lose her father.My two boys struggled for their lives too and the rest as well.But God is so greatful!He sent a lot of people to rescue my family he did not allow the possibility of death.Everybody rescued.But after few seconds my 2 boys who are standing on their feet already walking back to the shore,drowning again because in the place where they are the level of water turned high again.But thanks god they saved again.When we were on the shore,we realized something unexplainable happened to our group.There was a family who were 1 meter away from my family did not experience the same.Our two companion who rescued my family felt difficulty when they saved them.All rescuers was walking and did not even swim much unlike them they had to dive and swim to reach them.We prayed and thank the Lord for the miracle he made.For he did not allow somebody`s life waisted.He showed to us that if we have faith in our heart and call him everything would be fine.I really felt his strong presence.So strong.That nothing would hinder him in saving us.Friends,please don`t go back to that place anymore.Tell your relatives and friends our story.It caused a lot of trauma in me because I witnessed how my love one`s struggled for their lives and cant do anything but only to shout and pray.But I do considered this as a blessing in disguise.I appreciate life more.That even you dont have much blessing compare to others but having your family with you is a big big blessing.Praise the Lord!
