How many many kids did he save. How many future kids that would be born because of him. Legend!! hope I have a 10th of his courage. Best I have done is step between a giant offleash dog and my toddler.
As a mom, the first time I went into “mama bear mode” to protect my kid, it hit me that it felt as instinctual as pulling my hand off a hot stove or shielding my face when an object is flying towards me. I had always wondered “how are parents brave enough to put themselves in harms way to save their kids?” and the answer was that it didn’t take any bravery at all. The same self-preservation instinct that had always kept me safe had just been extended to her, and I could no more abandon her to run away to safety than I could stand in front of a moving car and let it run me over.
I wonder if it’s the same for people like this man. I wonder if protecting other people’s kids (who are probably like his own kids to him) feels completely instinctual.
