How could you ever know you were going to die anyway?
I'm too pig-headed to think that way. I can always imagine that there's a way that I could save myself too. After all, I'm Superman and don't even try to tell me any different because I won't believe you.
I would without a thought of dying. I'm a shell my spirit will continue to live. I have no fear of dying. Life is precious expecially the life of a child. I would give of myself completely to give a child a chance to live, grow in knowledge, and procreate.
I would try and save him/her from certain death but I would look out for myself too. Most of the time when it's too late, it's just too late.
I think that a lot of folks say they'd jump in after their child if it came down to it. I know I would if I really, really knew the child would survive everything then I definitely would.
It might sound a little selfish but I really don't care. Children shouldn't be left unnatended like that in the first place.
At the same time I think that I probably would. Depends on the circumstances. Like my friend almost drowned in the Missouri River but his brother saved him. They both survived.
Going to the beach is a whole lot more dangerous cause the undertow can pull you out without you even knowing it, especially if your a kid.
I have heard stories about people that have done this in my life. Sacrificing theirselves for the life of a child. I honor those stories cause they're based on the courage that makes us who we are.
I actually have went into a strong current to save my son's life. I would do whatever it takes to save my kids life. Even step in front of a gun. what parent wouldn't?
