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



'Tyson said he was heartbroken but proud of his son. "I can only imagine what was going on inside to give up his life to save his brother, even though he was petrified of water. He is our little hero."'

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.
