Came home from work and decided to chill on the computer. Log on and the first thing I see on yahoo.com: "Tragic Hero of Australian Floods". I clicked on it to find out more on this story. Jordan Rice, 13, was in the car with his mom and his little brother were in their car at tire-level water when the engine stopped. They got on top of the car and waited to be rescued. When they finally where rescued, Jordan asked that his brother, Blake, be rescued before him. Jordan and his mother Donna were swept away by the floods and drowned. A VERY heroic gesture from somebody so young yet full of heart. Jordan couldn.t swim and was terrified of water yet he asked for his brother to be saved before him. Interesting. Commendable. My heart goes out to his family, especially Blake. He is blessed to see another day knowing that his brother took an exceptional measure for him and his life. If you were in this position, what would have you done?
