Makadurog-puso ang sinapit ng isang ina nang pumanaw ang kanyang dalagang anak.
Nangyari ito noong November 2022, nang masangkot sa aksidente ang dalagang si Montana, 17, anak ni Jaymee Erickson, isang paramedic sa Canada.
Ang masaklap pa, si Jaymee ang tumakbo sa pinangyarihan ng aksidente.
Siya rin ang naglapat ng paunang lunas sa biktimang pasahero.
Hindi agad nalaman ni Jaymee na ang ginamot pala niya ay sarili niyang anak na namatay rin dahil sa mga sugat na natamo.
Halos isang taon na noong nangyari ito, subalit naibabahagi pa rin ang kuwento sa social media.

THE ACCIDENT
November 15, 2022, nangyari ang car crash sa Calgary, at naipit sa loob ng sasakyan ang dalagang pasahero.
Hindi namukhaan ni Jaymee ang dalaga dahil sa matinding sugat na tinamo nito.
"Jaymee unknowingly was keeping her own daughter alive," pahayag noon sa presscon ni Richard Reed, kaibigan at isa ring paramedic.
Nang nakauwi si Jaymee sa bahay, sinalubong siya ng Canadian police.
Doon lang niya nalaman na ang nasangkot sa aksidente ay ang kanyang anak na dalaga.

PAIN LIKE NO OTHER
Inihayag ni Jaymee ang kanyang naramdaman sa ginawang GoFundMe, isang American crowd-funding platform, ng isang family friend.
Bahagi ng sentimyento ni Jaymee: "The pain I am feeling is like no pain I have ever felt, it is indescribable.
"The critically injured patient I had just attended to, was my own flesh and blood. My only child. My mini-me. My daughter, Montana.”
Binanggit din dito ng paramedic kung bakit hindi niya nakilala ang sarili niyang anak.
"Her injures were so horrific I did not even recognize her. I was taken to FMC [hospital] to see my baby girl, and was informed her injuries were not compatible with life."
Sabi pa niya, “I cannot help but be angry for the short amount of time I was given with her. 17 years was not long enough. Although I am thankful for the 17 years I had with her, I am shattered and left wondering.”
Naiisip pa rin ni Jaymee kung ano magiging buhay ng anak kung hindi nangyari ang aksidente.
Aniya: "I will never see you graduate and walk across the stage, I will never see you get married, I will never know who you would have been."
Nitong July, 19, 2023, may post si Jaymee para sa kanyang yumaong anak.
Bagamat walong buwan na raw ang lumipas, hindi pa rin nawawala ang pangungulila sa anak.
Post ni Jaymee (published as is), “July 18th. Just another day. But it’s been 8 months since I saw you my girl. I went to buy you flowers today because, well, we love the fresh flowers for you, but I couldn’t decide so I left. Only to get home and have a meltdown because there were no flowers for you. It seems like yesterday when I last saw you.
"Since I yelled goodbye to you one last time as the elevator doors closed at the hospital to take you away. There is no such thing as moving on. My heart hurts today.
"I hope you can hear me, Turtle. I love love love you, to the moon and back. I know you know how much that is because you’re already there.”
Patuloy pa rin ang GoFundMe para kina Jaymee na ang target ay makaipon ng 250,000 Canadian dollars para makatulong financially.
Bukas ito sa mga nais mag-donate.
