A heart-warming post issued by Karl Cauchi, the son of Deborah Cauchi, the woman who was filmed falling whilst attempting to carry a child across a flooded street, went viral on social media.
Karl opened his message by stating that when he opened up social media, he saw many people trying to ridicule her. He said that very few people know ‘how big of a heart you have and how many times you sacrificed yourself to bring us where we are today.’
He described her as a woman who tries to solve problems whilst others around her do nothing and someone who radiates empathy. A woman with a solar smile and a ray of sunshine when all lanterns are extinguished.
‘I assure you that what happened today showed all of this. We’re living in a paper mache world […] a world of likes, views and other ridiculous things.’
‘A world that does not deserve a person of integrity and solid values such as yourself. A world that does not know what it means to love. I love you, dear. And thank you for the lesson you taught me today. Remember you are amazing.’
‘Yours truly, Karl (someone who has the privilege of being your son).’
