A True Hero



December 11, 2019


I don’t like to gush, but the 5-year-old girl in Alaska, clad only in socks and light clothing, who carried her 18-month-old sister a half-mile when it was 31 degrees below zero leaves me awestruck. If she had just walked unencumbered, I would have been amazed; but she was carrying her sister. You try that.

The girls were home alone when the power went out, and the 5-year-old got scared, and decided to go to a neighbor’s house. Again—that presence of mind in a 5-year-old leaves me stunned.

The girls made it to a neighbor’s house. They had cold-related injuries, but are expected to make a full recovery.


Young lady, you are truly a hero.
