- “In my mind, I was thinking positively, that they will all get up, and everything will be back the way it was. I didn’t think back then that this is the end, and my children have died.”
It was a tragedy that shook Australia. Now, months on from the Oatlands car crash, we hear from those closest to the four young victims, who speak of their devastation, forgiveness and the unwavering unity that has changed their migrant community.

What I found the most touching was regardless of what religion people came from or lack there of, the community came together for these precious children.♥️
I need to change my ways of thinking... I stress myself into panic and depression over the smallest things.... I Cannot imagine a loss this great.. My problems are so small
I’m just like you idk how to change that about me 😪
Yes you can always train your brain. Lot of people go through unimaginable traumas you have no Idea…

Keep your big girl panties on at all times!!?
I've been stressing over covid and a knee injury almost on a daily basis, feeling depressed and worried. So ridiculous it seems seeing what others go through.
Incredibly moving. So much grace in this family. They have much to teach the world.
💔💔💔 can't even imagine their grieving for 2 more children then me. I lost my life the day my son was killed at 19. I am a mear shell existing in this world until I can be with my son. My prayers go out to you and your family for comfort and healing. I wish I could say that I was as strong as the two of you, but I am not. I have no other children so I am alone with my pain and sorrow.😥💔
I pray that Jesus puts a smile in your heart and not so many tears in your eyes! This will happen in time, your precious son would want this for you and so do I ❣️🙏
@@deborahallen3318 thank you for saying what I couldn't put into words... my heart is breaking 💔
The reason Why his kids have beautiful heart is because of Their parents upbringing. Home is really the best place to learn
Amen! Agreed!
I watched the story about this tragedy and I cried. I llive on the other side of the world (British Columbia, Canada) and I'm getting old my kids are living their own lives. After watching the first I remembered the children's names. It just impacted me so deeply. Such a horrific loss and yet such beautiful love and closeness and humanity came from it. Thank you for posting this video. It gave me a sense of closure and peace in my heart and in my soul.
I’m not even sure how this came up on my feed, but I’m so inspired by this family. These two parents are simply amazing. They already had a strong faith in God, but it is even so much more evident. It’s easy to praise God during the good times, but not so much during hard times. This family is the epitome of a faith based abs God loving family. Their children were followers of this lovely couple and how they chose to live their lives...in a Godly manner. What an inspiration to all of us!! I cannot imagine the pain they are going through. My heart breaks for their loss, but it also rejoices knowing that one day soon, they will be reunited with their precious children.
🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻
🙏
Dad: “Every day I cry, I am not going to say I don’t.. I pray with my tears but after I finish, I stand up and continue with my life and day” these lines definitely made me cry. May the Lord bless their hearts for their strong faith. ❤️✝️
Unbelievable strength and faith from this one of a kind family.I can't imagine how they have been able to survive after such a tragedy. To everyone of them my deepest sympathy. Your outlook on how you are dealing with your loss is something I can't comprehend. Faith is a wonderful thing but surely there has to be times when your faith has been tested. Thankyou for sharing your beautiful memories with me.
.
@@christinelee9990 Yes their faith was tested with the lost of their children! But the Bible says when as Christians grieve its not like an unbeliever, because we have that promise of being with our love ones again. Their souls aren't lost.. Those children are resting until Christ returns.. The pain is real, the parents have a hard time not being able to touch or see them anymore here on earth but that's the goodness of Faith.. I so appreciate them sharing that with the world. I pray the strength of God over them and his comforting hands around them and the remaining children..
😢
@@christinelee9990 yes, faith is tested. But GOD CAN GIVE YOU PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTAND!! THAT'S WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR THEM. I KNOW OF THIS PEACE TOO! These children are in heaven waiting for their loved ones to come home too. It won't be long now, for Jesus is coming back so very soon. The door to MERCY is about to close. People turn your hearts toward Jesus before it's too late. Jesus is waiting for you! 🕊️🛐📖🙏 show ❤️ like Jesus then if need be 🏹🔫 then victory 🙌🙌
This is a true example of Faith to the highest form. God bless your family! I recently lost my Daddy, 10 months ago...It was sudden, unimaginable. He was, still is, my whole heart. I am trying everyday to live on. This video gives me hope that he is taken care of by the Lord, our Savior and that we will meet again. In tears, this is beautiful.
The way they have dealt with this hardship is so admirable. So much to learn about forgiveness and life that we can learn from this family.
I feel so incredibly inspired by this family and their faith in God. Rip to their beautiful souls 🙏💜
I cannot even begin to imagine the depth of their pain. My kids are my life. Bless these parents and the remainder of their kids. Bless them ❤️🙏🏽
What a wonderfully spiritual couple this is, a shining example of how to live a life, of how to pick yourself up from tragedy and move on stronger than ever before. The children transitioned in an instant of being mown down; they are not dead but are being cared for on the other side where we all must go in the end. You will see your children again. God bless you for your wonderful courage.
When the Dad said that he’s human efforts had failed him he turned to God! Wow what a powerful statement! As a mother who has lost her only child. I can’t possibly imagine losing four in one day.... God we pray that you continue to sustain this beautiful family bless them abundantly father with peace that only comes from you! Sending love and prayers in Palm Springs California🙏💙🕊🦋
What a wonderful world it would be if we had more loving, forgiving people like this couple....What an incredible example of faith for all of us to emulate.
What a strong mother, carried for 9 months, built memories and cared for. Now knowing she will never touch them again 😥😥😥😥 to the father too. God bless you all 🙏
Why never they believe in the afterlife like muslims..Islam is the religion to follow though
@@oemadam we christians do believe in the afterlife. And we also believe that without believing in Jesus Christ as the Lord and Savior that died on the cross on our behalf and rose again for us to wash us from our sins , no one LITTERALLY will see the face of God and will deserve to live the whole eternity in His presence, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord"
This family has taught me so much about forgiveness & life. What examples for us to follow! I love you Abdullah Family. And I am praying for you everyday.
My husband and I lost a son 15 years ago when he was 18. He was in a Christian Band called “Any Given Moment”. He knew he could be taken to Jesus at any given moment. Thank you for sharing the love of your children with us.
@Anna Jones
Anna, I hope you listen to Kat Kerr. She tells what it's like in Heaven. God has taken her there many times because He wants us to know what Heaven is like. Bless you. On your birthday, your son goes to one of the portals and sings "Happy Birthday" to you. 🌻
I am so sorry for your loss🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
💗
God rest his soul.
So sorry for your loss❤️
I feel the older kids shielded and saved theit younger siblings from the crash.
No parent should ever bury their child. RIP young, beautiful souls.
I am so sorry for the Loss of your Beautiful Children. I can't imagine your grief. Tears, hugs and prayers ❤
My gosh what a beautiful family. The kids were raised well and they are just so full of love and wisdom. My heart goes out to them and their faith is incredible. The kids are smiling up in heaven waiting for the day they can see their family again❤️
My God! All a teenager, Anthony wanted was a prayer room. This actually tore me. Angelina, a child after God's own heart, so selfless and then Sienna, the generous one who set good example for her young ones reading the Bible. My heart is indeed heavy. This clearly reminds me of what people usually say- Good people don't last...
I so admire the parents. I pray to raise my kids the way they raised theirs. My prayers are with this beautiful family. Continue to be strong and resilient in your faith and walk with GOD. We will all meet in Heaven. that's for sure. Excess love ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Amen
They are amazing parents. A loss this big is very tragic 😔 and I couldn't imagine the strength it takes to make it through. Such beautiful children and you could see the love they all shared.
Beyond painful, but their fortitude is very encouraging and uplifting...God rest the sweet souls of the children. ♥️
these couple have a golden heart. my eyes tearing while watching. Rest well kids
This family has set a beautiful and inspiring example that will be strong and evident to all who meet or get to know of them for many years to come. What they have gone through is beyond heartbreaking but they are true grace in the face of horrible tradgedy. May we never forget these beautiful children and their beautiful family left behind
Let’s not ignore why they are beautiful and the inspiration that they are. They forgive, they love, they are humble because they love and are faithful to God and He in turn gives them these gifts.
More people need to see this story. It's about tragedy, love, kindness, respect, faith, grief, most of all forgiveness. I hope people can learn something about this story, I sure did. The parents are remarkable and their son is amazing. I'm so glad they has such great support throughout this friends and family. God Bless this family and keep them strong 🙏.
Amen to that 🌹
I have no words for this couple. Words are not enough. I'm speechless, God
That is actually one of the best things to say to bereaved parents. Platitudes often offend- no matter how well intentioned. Simply saying you don't know what to say, and having a listening ear is the very best response. Big hug from a bereaved mom. You are kind.
May Christ's perpetual light shine upon the lives of the 4 children saints. Danny and Leila are inspiring- just like Job. 🙏🕊🦋
I am crying. I am also a mother and I can imagine the hurt your family goes through. May God help you and your lil ones to carry on with your lives.
My heart goes out to these amazing parents. This is so awful, their resilience and faith is inspiring.
I can't add anything that hasn't already been said in the comments. But still: what an impressive family!
May God help us

@@donbubba7685 IT IS SAD
I went to primary school with Angelina, so hard to see her gone. God rest there souls...
She seemed like a really lovely girl. The whole family seem like good and kind people. So very sad. ☹💐
Xo
Hmmmm really?
@@gsdmomb530 What's this supposed to mean?
I’m so sorry! She seemed so sweet! May her memory be a blessing to you!♥️
Praying for your family Danny and Leila. This made me cry. May they be resting in eternal peace and getting their love tanks filled even more from God. Allah saber albkon .
This dad and mom's faith and trust in our heavenly father is the most admirable ..this is so sad yet at the same time i am. Amazed by this beautiful family .i watched them and thought to myself ,this is what a true loving and happy family feels like.Their love is just radiant .
Their kids are in Heaven, safe, happy and together. If this was my son I would find it extremely hard to forgive. Extremely hard.
What a powerful and soothing story. Full of happy memories and the power to forgive and lead by example
Four ANGELS in your life, that is a precious gift!
My deepest condolences to you all on this awful tragedy! May God continue to strengthen and heal your family and the entire community!
Omg this was just inspiring that there really are good people in our world at a time when I wonder if there really are....what beautiful parents you guys are
What a wonderful community to come together at this time. My sincere condolences to you during your time of vast grief. Bless you for your prayers, kindness and strength as you try to comfort the children that remain and grieve the loss of your precious children's.. May God be with you and bring you peace.
Yeah Bec
Dany and Leila, a true reflection of faith and love. May God bless you always!
Their family is beyond beautiful in every way and strong .. may God bless them and comfort them everyday
What a faith! God bless your family, the children are in God's loving arms...
Such a beautiful family I wish this tragedy never happened to them!, there babies will always be with them ❤️👼
Very sad indeed. These parents are so strong, to be able to even talk about it. Bless them.x
WOW. You Faith is a REAL testimony to me. I'm encouraged and strengthen to keep going on In My Loss.
I am blown away by the Dad saying, ' God this is outta my hands, this is too big for me to handle, I'm Surrendering it yo You'.
WOW, this made me feel ashamed of myself, with not trusting God with my own situation of Parental Alienation.
A Beautiful story. You will be united with your babies one day. God bless you all.
My thoughts and prayers are with your beautiful family. May your children find eternal peace in the arms of the angels. May you both continue to shine your amazing light for your family, friends, community and to all those who see your story. I have no doubt you will continue to honour your children as you go forward. Sending you love & healing light from Ireland 🇮🇪 xx
daniel and leila are amazing. much love to the abdullah and sakr families x
My heart breaks and heals with you all at once. I lost my sister at 14 and my Grandmother told me that God needed a brighter star in heaven. I will look at the sky differently tonight and search for the brightest stars and find joy in your beautiful family. Thank you, much love⭐
i love this even if it is sad because they loved their children unconditionally it is so important to be that way
it is beautiful to see all people together no war no religion issues that is true love from heaven
thank you 🙏
Leila, Danny and family. My thoughts are with you as the anniversary must be especially difficult for you all. What a courageous couple you are. RIP Antony, Angelina and Sienna. It was an honour to get to know these beautiful angels, even for a moment, they were amazing kids.
My heart also goes out to the Sakr family, my your beautiful girl be watching over you and holding your hands through this tough time. RIP Veronique Sakr.
@Shaikah Almejren No no, I thought it was 4 out of their 6 children but reading the above comment I am confused now.
@Shaikah Almejren 3 of their 6 kids died & they also lost Danny’s cousins daughter, Veronique !! Their nephew almost died as well. Woke up from a coma after 2 1/2 months after initially being told by doctors he wouldn’t make it. He wasn’t breathing when they found him but after CPR by 1st responders they miraculously got him breathing again.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.”
Amen.
Amen
Beautiful amen
May God always be with hem. What a loving and beautiful family. Such love from all of them. You don't see this very often at all. The love is coming through my I pad. Thank you for your big hearts. I lost my only daughter in August 2020. I feel that a large piece of me died that day also. I can't imagine what their hears have been through. God Bless.
Sorry for the loss of your daughter 🙏
Sending you a big hug from this fellow bereaved mother. I lost my only child in August as well.
Yes, this family are so dear. As is their kind community. Bless you and bless them. May you all get the love and support you need.
This family is so blessed...they have 4 angels in heaven who will always look after them and will meet them in their last hour on earth
My God I can't even fathom this kind of pain. I'm so glad I don't have kids because I wouldn't survive something this tragic
I'm so sorry for the lost of the little children. And I hope you get strength from God. South Australia
I am in awe of the faith they have and when she saw her daughter smiling I truly believe she was smiling at Jesus and he took her hand and brought her home and she is safe with the other children. Please accept my condolences and love for you in Jesus name
I am in the United States so I didn’t hear of your tragic loss. I am so sorry for your family. The faith that you all have is so is beautiful and encouraging. Your children are all so beautiful inside and out and what wonderful parents and people you are. Please keep your faith and raising your children like you are, they are such amazing kids and will be amazing adults like you are! God bless you, your children and your angels watching over you!!!!
Their faith is so strong. So beautiful.
May our LORD make things easier for you dear sister & brother & reunite you all with them in heaven ♥️
Sending love to this family from California, USA!
This is one of the saddest stories I have heard it’s been haunting me from when I read it, what a beautiful family and mum and dad, I pray for you
You are amazing witnesses to our faith. Jesus I trust in You🙏🙏🙏🙏
Amen.🙏❤
🙏
With a humble heart I would encourage you to trust only in Jesus Christ, he is the way, truth and life Jn 14: 6 & only Mediator 1 Tim 2:5
Amen and agreed!
🙏🏽😊🌻
This melted my heart! What an inspiration y’all are! Without having FAITH no one could survive such a tragic event! Thank God for the love,for the strength He gives us, the forgiveness He shows us! Your family is in my prayers!
I’m so sorry for your loss. Can’t even imagine what you are going through. What an inspirational family. God bless you and your family xx
i dunno how i got here but im crying right now, those beautful kids, heartbreaking.
I don’t know how I received this page, but it had me in tears, the strength and faith from these children’s parents is the most amazing and beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. May god continue to keep you in his prayers. And yes please write a book, I think it would help so many families and individuals. I don’t know if I could ever forgive anyone who would be so careless, yet pray for him. You two are what the world needs now. Many many blessings. 💕👏
This story appeared on my page too and I live in NZ and have never heard of this tragedy before. God works in mysterious ways, this poor families loss, is not in vain, as this story has touched so many hearts and reminds us to live in a world of love and forgiveness.
Beautiful Family and even more beautiful the forgiveness. DG
And still even a more beautiful God who is their motivation. God bless
God bless you every single day. I lost my son (19) in 2011 and it will always be bittersweet. Because of my faith I realise I am blessed to have had him in my life. What a beautiful way you have of honoring each of your children everyday. God bless and keep you always.
This video is changing lives for the better, I promise.
I'm amazed by your incredible faith after such a tragedy! May God Bless your family.
WOW! I was so saddened to hear this tragic accident to your family!! Unbelievable faith you and your beautiful family have. And still you forgave this man. You guys are a true example of what we all should be! I’m a believer of God as well. And I know the great things that God can do for us if we keep our faith and follow him. I will pray for you and your family may God always bless you and your beautiful children in heaven.🙏🏽💕
I live in west Memphis Arkansas and this just touched my heart, the strength they had, has taught me that no matter what tragedies or suffering life brings your way to keep your faith and to love even harder. Pray harder, understand harder, forgive harder. God bless y'all for showing us how people are supposed to be during a horrific time. God and those babies are truly smiling down on y'all and the whole community. God bless y'all
Im watching this one year later in tears, i dont know the family but my heart aches for them🤍 May their little angels and cousin rest in peace
God bless your beautiful family such a inspiration and role models as always 💚💚💚🙏🙏🙏
"Things are caught not taught" so beautiful , beautiful faith ❤️
Amen.🙏🙏🙏
This happen to my family .40 years later no parents recover from this lost .they will only exist and everybody around them will move with their lives . We were good family ,god dealt us a terrible hand .nobody will understand lost until you go through it
What a lovely remembrance of their loved ones. How special this family is. May we all strive to handle our challenges in life with the same Grace.
Thank you for sharing this Story❤Tee in New Mexico. USA
Oh broke my heart..prayers for them. They're angels in heaven now. Keep on 🙏 praying.
Dear Margarette, we are to pray for the living not the departed. After we die we will either be saved or lost , our chance to repent is while we still live ❤
Omg ive just come across this and im crying im muslim my heart is torn up im numb but your angels are no longer in pain love and blessings my brother and sister
As a Mother of three, young adult daughters
To see the strength that God has given them. To know that forgiveness is love, say such a tremendous thing. May God continues to give them the desires of their heart.
Your kids are angels. They did so little but with a lot of love. I hope I can teach my kids more selfless acts as you have taught your kids. Keep your faith. I love how your hearts stay together and not let this tear you apart as a couple. Good parents stay together and lean on each other. 🙏🏼
So awful and such a beautiful family.
Very heart breaking , I couldn’t ever imagine loosing a child let alone 4 of my babies 💔💔💔💔😓my heart breaks into a million pieces for you both and your other kids and all your family and friends. They were all such beautiful little sweet hearts who should not have died so young . Rest In Peace sweat angels 👼😓😓😓😓 sending love to you to the heaven above ❤️🥰❤️❤️❤️
What an inspirational couple, the way that they speak shows that they are extremely loving and caring. The videos of the children prove that they have all been brought up well, what a nightmare! 💔💔💔
I learnt a very important lesson, of forgiveness. Your faith in God really touches my heart.
This family is such an amazing example of the difference in “religion” and a relationship with The Lord l. God freely gave His only son that we can be forgiven, He knows their pain. How wonderful it is that this world is nit our home and we will see our loved ones again in heaven.
They're both christians. So there's no difference in religion
God blesses you always continually, guide and guard you all,amen.
O my God 😢 😢 . . .RIP🙏🙏
God give you strength and courage 🙏🙏
Yesterday was my daughter's birthday. And the pain is still quite lucid. Yes, without faith I would have died with her.
I was so proud of her. She gave me courage to continue on.
She was bright, brainy and beautiful of body and soul. When she entered the room, she filled it with her spirit.
I cannot imagine losing so many.
It always hurts. Some days less, other days more.
I felt complete divine love from her after her first visit. There is nothing like it. Words are useless. I knew she was with God. I chose to be happy for her. Her voyage continues.
Blessings to you and your family.
I'm sure you see signs that they are around you. They want to see you happy. Not sad.
I will never be the same after watching this & the other special coverage done by channel 7. I had to send it to my mom to watch. I told her it’s one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever witnessed while also being one of the most inspiring & uplifting. I am not a religious person whatsoever but I am a mother. I cannot even begin to fathom what they are all going through. I just know I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. They give me such hope & I can’t thank them enough for sharing their story w/ the world. Sending them so much love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow I'm truly touch by the level of faith this family has protrayed in forgiving this careless and immature drunking driver,I hope he has learn a lesson and wise up,this is heart breaking yet so inspiring. May God continue to give you all the courage and strength to go on God bless🙏🙏
I commend you on pulling together for your remaining children. My parents lost their only two sons in an airplane accident. I thank God that my parents continued on for me and my sisters. I was just eleven when that happened. I needed my parents!!!!
Very deep losses for all of you. I am so sorry.
What a loving lesson, no more words... 😰 ❤️my condolences from Bogotá, Colombia , South America
I was not prepared to cry this early in the morning. I can't even imagine what those families went through. They're a lot stronger than most of us would be. If I lost that many kids I would not want to wake up the next day.
Most of us do not want to wake up the next day. It is a process. We wake up anyway and carry on and try to survive so the rest of the family is not further devastated. Bless you Lyndsey for caring. May your life be a good one.
Remarkable testimony of God’s love, grace and mercy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story that continues to spread it’s sweet fragrance. You are raising an amazing generation knowing God and our Saviour.
What an amzing family; And inspiring; I do not know if I could do the same if those were my children killed. Their faith and posittive way of coping with such a tragedy, is contagious . Beautiful family, amazing qualities . Never loose faith, never loose hope. God bless them and keep them strong forever.
Strong faith, close family ties...... Sad but so beautiful people with pure hearts! May God be with you all.
