Dear Christine,
GONE ARE THE DAYS when marriage was seen as a blessing, greatly respected and an example for our children whom we also hope someday will grow up, have wives and husbands of their own, and live long and worthwhile lives.
It was heartbreaking recently to experience the most beautiful, flawless figure in the car park at Grantley Adams International Airport bleeding from the nose and foaming from the mouth with convulsion.
I was just walking back to my car as I had dropped off my cousin, who was travelling that day, and found this young lady lying there with a seizure. I had no idea how long she was there and I shouted for help. I was running late for work because the flight was delayed due to maintenance problems. I wanted to ensure that my cousin had a ride back home if the flight got cancelled.
I wrapped my bunch of keys in a cloth and placed it in her mouth so she would not bite off her tongue. I also used my T-shirt to put pressure on her nose. After about 20 minutes she recovered.
The young lady started crying and said she was just about to get into the car to go home and a woman from an unknown number called and told her: “Get home safely. I am leaving for Miami with your cheating husband. If you do not believe me, walk down to the glass area under the staircase and you will see us.”
I immediately sent a text to my husband. I told him I was with a woman who was crying her eyes out and behaving like she was going to flip at any moment because her husband was going away with a woman.
She remained next to me crying, then told me she asked Jesus not to let her that day. She then ran to the car park.
An announcement was made about the delay of the flight and my husband walked towards the glass area as we chatted on our cellphones. He said the only two people waiting to board the flight that looked like a weird couple was a tall guy wearing glasses in a white, long-sleeve shirt and a young girl whose husband had died about a year ago.
A female red cap worker started crying and said there was no room for good people in this world. She said she thought this man was somebody and that everyone looked up to that couple.
Christine, one can never judge a book by its cover. Life is so unfair. How could someone give so much and get so little in return? That poor woman could have gone mad or died.
The red caps gave me the name of the young woman’s husband and told me where she lived and where to take her. I am happy I was there at that point in time to take care of her and I hope she keeps in touch.
I cannot imagine what the rest of her life will be like. Why would someone who knows how it feels to lose a husband do something like that to another woman? That is so sad.
As I approached the house, I was confused. This man has a palace and a queen that is so filled with substance. As I helped her out of the car, she looked up at me, smiled and said, “Thank you”.
I told her she was a very strong woman and she said: “I am weak but God is strong. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world.”

Dear J.C,
I believe you wanted to share this letter with the hope that unfaithful partners – whether male or female – should consider how much hurt and pain they cause their spouses when they make the decision to cheat on them.
Thanks for sharing and for being a good Samaritan.
This woman obviously knows where her strength comes from and that is the key to dealing with issues like the one she is facing.
– CHRISTINE
