This is a sad, yet heart warming story that a friend sent me.

I read that yesterday. Not only did he say save his brother but to also save his mum (mom).

He was scared of water and did not know how to swim, yet he wanted his younger brother and Mom to be saved first. Sad ending to a brave young lad.
