A Buffer to the Children

By taurusingemini on July 6, 2024

She had ample time, to get out of the way, but she didn't, and it's for the sake of her own two, children, the love of a mother, that's made her willing to, sacrifice her life, putting her self between what may cause irreparable harm to her own, young…translated…

That day, my older sister and older brother-in-law drove back to Yunlin separately. My brother-in-law was driving the new SUV, with my niece and nephew, my sister, in their old sedan, the sedan was a bit tight for their family of four, but, it became, an absolutely necessity to me, who'd just recently transferred from Taipei to Yunlin, and in need of a way to get around.

On the freeways, my brother-in-law found the car up front, close to the side rails, and deducted there may have been an accident, he'd, reduced his speed.

My older sister who was right behind, originally looking at how new, and beautiful the new car was, was warned by the brake lights, also, stepped on the brakes at this time. At this time, she'd realized, that the car behind her was still, driving really fast toward her, without any signs of, slowing, down………she hesitated for a split second, then, started honking her horn like crazy, hoping to get the attention of the driver of the car behind her, to reduce her/his, speed.

"Hey, you know what? You almost didn't have a car to drive. Had the car on the back didn't stop, and rammed right on, the new car, and I would've gone, bye-bye…" And afterwards, my older sister tried brushing it off, and I can only, look at her, feeling bad, and awkward at the, same time.

"Actually, the thought of should I dodge came to mind in that split second, and I had, the time to get to the next lane, but thinking about how the car in front had my two children, I'd, not wanted, to dodge, I wanted to become a buffer for them.", she'd spoken with, such, affirmative, tone of, voice.

So, this would be, the protective instincts of mothers, to SAVE her own young, and that just showed, how much we women SACRIFICE ourselves, to keep our own children, safe.
