| Ericson and Jose, cooking up a storm in the Ohio Valley |
This story is about Jose and was written by Ericson.
Rodrigo and I meet in school and we were really good friends, inseparable.
I studied with him all through primary (elementary) school and we grew
up together like brothers. We looked after each other.
One day I went to his house to hang out for the whole day and mess
around and have fun. We were playing together when we saw his mum faint. She
had passed out on account of concerns that were troubling her. She shared these
feelings with her son, but Rodrigo ignored his mother.
Rodrigo’s girlfriend came over later, inviting him to go with her to the
beach. Of course he wanted to go and so he agreed to the plans.
We were both 10th grade high school students. One average Friday, Rodrigo
told all of his classmates that he was going to the beach with his girlfriend
and he explained that his mum didn’t want him to go because of the feelings she’d
earlier. But he didn’t care and so the next day he went to the beach.
He was at the beach with his girlfriend and her family and her friends.
They lit a bonfire in the evening and after they started to drink alcohol. He
decided to go swimming in the surf, so he told his girlfriend to go with him
and both of them went in. They were already out quite a way when he told his
girlfriend that he was going to go in deeper.
When he had swum out to where the waves were breaking, a big wave overcame
him and smashed him into some rocks. He didn’t come out.
Rodrigo’s girlfriend’s family had the difficult task of explaining to Rodrigo’s
mother that he went into the water but never came out. Twenty four hours later,
his body was found floating in the water, completely destroyed. His face was
deformed, his body beaten and his eyes were no longer in his body. They took Rodrigo’s
body to his mother.
The family held a funeral for his body and his mother told everyone, “He
didn’t obey me.” His poor mother was brokenhearted along with the rest of his
family.
This horrible tragedy occurred because Rodrigo didn’t obey the Bible,
which tells us to honour our father and mother and our days on Earth will be
long and prosperous.
