[00:00.63]8.No Matter What Happens, I’ll Always Be There For You!


[00:06.62]In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened 1 America, killing 2 over 30,000 people in less than four minutes.


[00:17.74]In the midst of utter devastation 3 and chaos 4, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be,


[00:26.77]only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake.


[00:32.21]After the initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son,


[00:37.77]“No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!”


[00:41.91]And tears began to fill his eyes.


[00:44.73]As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless,


[00:50.62]but he kept remembering his commitment to his son.


[00:53.67]He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning.


[00:59.87]Remembering his son’s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building,


[01:05.10]he rushed there and started digging through the ruins.


[01:08.91]As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying, “My son!” “My daughter!”


[01:16.97]Other well-meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying, “It’s too late!


[01:22.85]They’re all dead! You can’t help! Go home! Come on, face reality!”


[01:29.05]To each parent he responded with one line, “Are you going to help me now?”


[01:34.51]And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone.


[01:39.29]The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school’s ruins saying,


[01:43.65]“Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere.


[01:47.14]You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home.”


[01:49.96]To which this loving, caring American father asked, “Are you going to help me now?”


[01:56.39]The police came and said, “You’re endangering others. Go home. We’ll handle it!”


[02:01.39]To which he replied, “Are you going to help me now?” No one helped.


[02:08.37]He dug for eight hours...12 hours...24 hours...36 hours...then, at the 38th hour,


[02:18.17]he pulled back a large stone and heard his son’s voice.


[02:21.87]He screamed his son’s name, “ARMAND!” He heard back, “Dad!?! It’s me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry.


[02:31.34]I told them that if you were alive, you’d save me and when you saved me, they’d be saved.


[02:38.12]You promised, ‘No matter what happens, I’ll always be there for you!’ You did it, Dad!”


[02:44.68]“Come out, boy!”


[02:47.42]“No, Dad! Let the other kids out first, cause I know you’ll get me!


[02:52.89]No matter what happens, I know you’ll always be there for me!”
