A Dad Jumped Over A Pool Fence With A Broken Arm To Save His Child

The memory is so clear it still gives me a chill. I was maybe 5 or 6, a little kid without my floaties, and one second I was there, the next I was in the water. My dad was sitting in his chair a dozen yards away. He had a cast on his arm from a fall and fractured ribs that made every movement a jolt of pain. He was even on pain meds. But he saw it all happen. He shot out of his seat. Flew down the back porch stairs in three bounds. And with a shattered arm and broken ribs he vaulted the pool fence in a single leap. The other adults at the party barely had time to turn their heads before he was already in the water and had me in his arms. He saved my life and he did it in a blaze of pure adrenaline. If that is not what a hero looks like, I do not know what is. #FamilyStories #FamilyRelationships #FamilyFirst #HeroDad #Parenting #TrueStory #ChildhoodMemories #SuperDad #Fatherhood #ParentalLove #LifeLesson #Family
