Its the Saturday morning and as usual holding a cup of coffee in my hand, I picked the newspaper and read an article unlike every morning, I start with funny cartoons. For a moment, I left everything I had in my hand, holding the newspaper more firmly to re-confirm what I read.
Yes, its real and a heartbreaking incident took place in Wellington !
Here goes the article titled -
Girl, 3, survives home alone for 2 days after mom dies
A 3-year-old girl, alone for two days after her mother died unexpectedly in their New Zealand home, lived on cheese, leftover lasagna and milk and comforted herself with her teddy bear.
The girl's uncle, Pete Silbery, said that the family last spoke to the mother, Lauren Silbery, on October 19.
Two days later, they were worried enough to call a friend who lived near the 28-year-old's Wellington home. The friend could see Lauren's daughter, Shylah, inside the home, but not the mother, prompting the family to call police, Pete Silbery said.
Police coaxed Shylah to drag a coffee table to the door so she could reach the lock and unlock the door, before she told them, "Mummy won't wake up," Silbery said. "I can only imagine her in there for that long, trying to wake mum up as well," he said.
Silbery said Shylah endured the two days alone by finding food in the refrigerator and holding her teddy bear, named 'Possum'. Shylah spent several days in a hospital recovering from dehydration and diaper rash. "She's doing OK now. She's still bubbly," he said. "When we lowered the coffin into the grave at the cemetery, though, she pointed at it and said, 'Mummy's in there'. It was pretty heartbreaking."
Its really heartbreaking and I dedicate my blog to her,
to the sufferers of the kind,
for whom life is not served on a Silver platter,
for the victims of the Wrath of Time/Destiny... !! :( :(
