An 8 year old and a 17 month old both lost their lives on Friday when a fire broke out in their New York apartment. The really sad part of this story is that the 8 year old boy was carried out to safety and then realized that his younger brother was still inside, so he ran back into the fire to save him. He was a brave 8 year old that loved his brother very much and his grandfather has been quoted saying "I'm not surprised that he would do it. He would never want to see his little brother suffer."
This is a story of a brave little boy, but also a reminder to each and everyone of us that we can not go back in a fire for anything or anyone. I cannot imagine being in their shoes, it would be hard to stand out outside your home while it is burning knowing that a sibling, a child or anyone you love is inside. My thoughts and prayers go out to this family that has suffered a great loss.
