Everyone is their own hero


Everyone is their own hero <br /> For Tanimi Hill, Thanksgiving Day 2002 is a happy day. She drove three children - one year and eight months of Teresa, four-year-old Trauner and seven-year-old Tedus, to go to her parents' house for dinner. It is only half an hour's drive from her own home.
After dinner, the night was deep, and she put on pajamas before putting the children in the seat of the child in the car. Because they will fall asleep in the car before going home, when she just needs to hold them directly to the bed.
This is the second Thanksgiving after the family broke. Tan Mi and his husband, Adans, divorced two years ago. Every night at 8:00, the children will receive a call from their father on time.
On Thursday, on the way home, Tan Mi received a call from Adans. She handed the phone to her son Tedus. The little boy just finished talking, and the phone rang again. She unlocked the seat belt because she couldn't reach the phone from Tedus. When she approached her son's hand, the truck got out of control.
"I drove into the ditch next to the road, and the car bounced twice," Tanimi recalls. "Fortunately, the children are in the back seat. I was thrown out of the window and I was unconscious." ""
This night, the sky is full of clouds, no moon, no stars. The life of the children of Adans changed in these few seconds. Mom is gone. They stayed in a truck on a dead road, and the wind blew in from the broken window, almost freezing people to death. They couldn't see their mother and couldn't hear her voice - she lost consciousness a few meters away from the car. Tedus suddenly became the parent of this family.
"We moved, but were tied by a seat belt." Tedus recalled: "I unbuttoned the seat belt. I have some fear, but I am not particularly scared to see the panicked sisters."
Tedus carefully pulled the blanket over the two little sisters and told them that he had to go out for help now. He climbed out of the broken window to find his mother. But outside, it was dark and he couldn't see anything. And a few miles from the road, he saw the light of the dairy.
"Tedus is actually very afraid of black," Tanimi told his son. "When I go to sleep every night, he always lights up the bedroom. I am surprised that he will bravely climb out of the truck."
"It’s very cold," Tetus said. The weather report that day said that it was iced, but he still climbed out, wearing pajamas and small socks.
"He crossed the triple fence, including a power grid," his mother said. "He was scratched his ears and face."
About five minutes later, Tedus arrived at the dairy. Stopped in front of a house, which is the house of a migrant worker. They immediately realized that the little boy had a hard time. But they can't speak English and can't communicate with him. One of them immediately ran to find the translator.
The worker quickly brought a neighbor who speaks both English and Spanish. The man immediately called 911 and took Tedus back to the scene of the accident.
Peter was the first policeman to come. "Tedus is amazing," he said. "After such an accident, he can tell me exactly his sister's birthday, and the phone numbers of two relatives. I know he was scared. The voice was trembling as he walked over to the farm to speak to the adults. But the child was incredible and he gave me all the information I needed."
The rescuers heard the buzz from the ditch, and Tan Mi lay a few feet from the truck. When the rescuers found her, she woke up for a while and then stunned. The ambulance quickly sent Tan Mi to the hospital. The doctor said that if it was a quarter of an hour later, Tan Mi might lose too much blood. Tan Mi has been in a coma for three days. When she woke up, all the television and newspapers in the United States reported on the deeds that Tedus saved the whole family at such a critical juncture.

After lying in the hospital for a month, Tan Mi gradually recovered his health. The famous American talk show invited the Tan Mi family to the past. On the show, she interviewed the seven-year-old boy Tedus. The hostess Oprah Winfrey asked Tedus: "Listen to your mother, usually You are very afraid of black, the weather is so cold, my mother is gone, what is the power that makes you run a few miles to find reinforcements? Are you not afraid?" Little Tetus blushes, slightly shyly said "Yes, I was scared at the time, but I have to be a hero. Mom is gone, I should be the hero of two sisters, I must save them and save our mother. I hope that our family can be happy forever. Living together..." After the words of Tedus finished, the live applause sounded, and the host Oprah was quite excited to say: "Yes, when we are in danger, we should all become Your own hero, in fact, everyone is their own hero. This is what our little hero Tedus told us."
