What makes us so different yet so alike? Human nature.

I'm a teenager and my Dad always says this to me, even at random moments (I suppose when he's just thinking) ---
"If it ever came down to it I would die for you. I mean it. If we were in a blizzard in the middle of nowhere I would shield you with my body to protect you and keep you warm, and die myself."
I think most parents would readily give themselves for their child.

It isn't even a question of what we would do if the time came to saving our children. It is a parents instinct to save our children in a dangerous situation. Even if it means giving up our own life.

As a parent ....I would gladly sacrifice my life to save my children or grand children....no questions asked.....
I don't know why it's different for each individual I just know that it is.....
I personally know someone that ran or panicked if you will and left her 3 young children to parish in a fire....when they were within arms reach.....

There wouldn't be a second of thought,,,,I would give my life for my child in less than a heartbeat...Some may not, but the ones that truly cherish their children wouldn't think twice..

Some would and some wouldn't. To wit, some parents actually kill their children. People differ.

It would require no thought at all. I would give my life for any of my children without question.

my grandmother never learned to swim.... she would avoid any swimming at all.... when one of my uncles was young he lost his footing near the river where they lived and was swept away by the risiing river.... my grandmother jumped in the water and swam out and grabbed her son and brought him safely back to the river bank before she realised she didnt know how to swim...
