heres a link to article:people are awesome: this woman lost her legs in a tornado to save her childrens lives

the article is about a mom that gets home and takes her kids into the basement to get away from a tornado.  while they are in the basement the tornado takes down the house and it is destroyed.  one of the pieces of rubble was going to fall on one of the children so the mom jumped over them and protected them.  most of the debris fell in the basement and crushed the moms legs.  after the tornado the kids were safe and didnt have a scratch on them.  but the mom was covered in bruises and her 2 legs were severely injured.  then one of the children went to go get help and came back.  a deputy came and saved her life and they brought her to the hospital.  them she had to have her legs amputated but she is recovering in a hospital safely.

the main idea of this article is that a mother would sacrifice herself to protect her kin at any cost.  i know this because the mom in the article protected her children form a tornado plus debris from a destroyed house.  she sacrificed her life to save her children by taking all the damage instead of her children dying.  she used her body as a human shield for her children's safety from building parts.  she was also trying to make it positive and kept saying to her kids "we are going to make it" and she kept that promise by taking all the damage for her kids.   even in the end she said all that mattered was that i kept my promise and that we made it out of there alive.

i think what the mom did was right and brave to do that.  just think of the big picture a mom doing that for her kids is the same exact thing that the us army is doing for us.  protecting us from danger and keeping us safe from any harm.  risking there lives for millions, sacrificing there life for some one else's for them to live peacefully and happy.  they are also aren't doing this because they are forced to but they are doing this voluntarily.  they want to keep everyone safe and sound, they want to help keep the peace not just for us but the world.
