“You know, I’m so proud of my son because in his last moments he wasn’t screaming for me. He was screaming, ‘Jesus, Jesus save me. Jesus, I hear you. Jesus, I’m calling upon you,'” the mother says.
The boy, Micah, was atop of his roof when he and his grandparents were taken by the awful flood waters. His mother says that it was his dream to become a superhero.
“His wildest dreams and everything, he wanted to be a superhero. And that was his goal in life. And instead, he’s my hero. Because he reached for something past flesh, past human, past anything that even grown adults I think would reach for,” says the mother.
The mother graciously talked with all honesty and sincerity about the gift it was to have been her son’s mother. Micah was a blessing to her life.
“My son called out to the one God Almighty, and I think at that moment he was rescued, and he became my hero,” she continues. “And I think all of them carried me through that moment. I think that his biggest dreams, he was the smartest, smartest, bravest, hopeful, great friend, great son. I couldn’t have asked for a better son. And he was so happy up until the very end when he was screaming for Jesus. And in that moment I think he found joy.”
Communities all across the nation have been devastated by Helene’s deadly rage. Pray for all those who have lost loved ones, homes and their entire livelihood at this heartbreaking time.
