The 9-year-old was recounting the moments after his father, Joshua, fractured his neck while diving into shallow water. Joshua emerged from the bottom of the Santa Rosa Sound on his stomach, unable to turn over, and Asaih—despite a 100-pound weight difference—managed to flip him onto his back so he wouldn't drown, per the AP. Then he slowly tugged his father to shore, with bystanders helping in the final stages." MORE

Thank goodness that he was there. He seems to have more wisdom than his father that dove into shallow water.

What a hero! Even though the article says his dad may make a "full recovery", there are some unknowns. This young man, as the eldest son, my shoulder much of the family's responsibility in coming years. Sounds like he's up to it!!!
