Every child should have a dad like that.
Yeh my Dad was never interested in us and he recently died aged 78. I felt sorry for him loosing his life but as a father figure it didn't have much impact. The Dad here is amazing.
Agreed. I wish my kids had this kind of dad in their life
A dad who’s dumb enough to put his kids in high risk situations? No life jackets for an overnight stay in a tinny, what an absolute MORON. What could possibly go wrong 🤔
I wish i have boat and take my little son to fishing. Do you have children?
@lana lake Awwww thank you that's really kind of you. I have my own children now and they're grown up but they'll always be my world. I'd hoped my father would of tried to be a good grandfather as if he'd been given a second chance but he was just as bad at that. I look back now with irony and exasperation. I did learn a lot about myself throughout this process so I think something good did come from the life lesson. You've always got to keep your chin up and don't let others grind you down. 😁💜
when the dad describes the love he has for his son.......
@@siantelove it was an extreme situation....I think if your child is dying in your arms, you feel the life leaving his body, you are tired, losing all hope, you would not probably want to let go and just want to stay with your child.... I guess it would be different under different circumstances but I felt in this situation I understood this man and could identify with what he was saying.... Do you have a child?
@@aquariusmarika totally agree with you. I don't have a child but if I did and they died In my arms lost at sea like that, I can see myself going with the child. Looks like he's an only child too? I imagine that would make you more likely to make the choice to hang onto your only child and die with them. If you had 2/3/4+ kids would the will to survive for they're sake change anything?
@@siantelove how is it an unhealthy description of love?
@@siantelove what are you talking about? How is it unhealthy? When you have children they are your everything & being put in that kind of desperate situation must be horrible! If you don't have that kind of love for your child then your kind of love is what's unhealthy!!🙄
@@aquariusmarika I understood. My children are my life and they're adults now. Holding your small child under such circumstances must be horrifically devistating. The Dad would loose the will to live.
“ He’s the reason why I live, the reason why I breathe.” I know dad, my kids are my life. ❤️
My 2 beautiful kids are my world my son was the only child my husband n I gave him lots of love from us I just wanted one child cuz my son has ADHD he needed lots help so my son is pride joy my king my rock n if something would of happened to him I'll go with him too then 10 years later my daughter who is 4 years old she has Autism n that's why I am still living cuz of them. Their my battery/my 2 heart to live/my eyes to them grow up but the most important is they are world without them I don't wat can happen if I don't have them
When he said" if he goes, I go" , only a parent could truly undersrand how this feels...
I am not yet a parent but I felt him. I cried. 😅
That's not true, I don't have kids, but hearing that I was immediately overcame with emotion. I have a brother that's ten years younger than me who looked a little like Julian when he was that age, & he loved to fish. When I was in highschool he was 5 to 7 years old I would pick him up after school & we would fish a few times a week.
So when I heard that I teared up just thinking about how much I love my baby brother more than anything in the world, I can relate to the love he has for that child completely!
I cried.
You just copiedThe comment above yours
My sister just had a daughter and since I cant have kids I love her with all my hear shes my world even though shes not my child if anyone bullies her they will deal with me before her parents and when she cries I cry I love her so much
This father is the definition of pure love for his child ! And his friend is the definition of a true friend ! An amazing story!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely...
What an incredible love...🙏🙏❤
DID HE DIE
yes when said he let the waves hit him, that was the moment I realized what a good friend he is! saved that boy's life for sure! kept him from swallowing more water...
The personality on that kid is amazing...His whole vibe/aura is of someone much much older.
I absolutely agree with you on your opinion of this little guy being much older than his age.
I felt that right away.
He's an amazing boy I bet he'll grow up& do something utterly amazing. He survived 4 a reason & he definitely has a huge purpose, it would be really awesome if in 20 years we could get an update on his life. I know, wishful thinking, but its kids like this that truly are amazing & its always truly amazing 2 see what they pursue in life..
Good luck 2 this family &2the awesome friend who clearly helped2save both father&son by taking the brunt of the waves so they didn't have the constant crashing of the waves in their faces which would have severely jeopardized the survival of both father&son. So kudos 2 the friend as well... He's a hero 4 sure..‼️
🤗🥰🙏‼️👍‼️
Definitely an old soul that little julian
Sarah Razee I agree with you about the little boy....like an old soul trapped in that young body. Cute little fellow 😘 . God bless him, his family and the best friend 🙏🙏🙏
there aren’t enough comments about this sweet friend. He took the brunt of the massive waves ,, he brought his phone, he was going to tie his jumper around the friends so they wouldn’t be gone forever, he was gonna tie the buckets to them🥺 this man is the sweetest
Yes i was ganna say that. Very true friend.
I 100% agree❤️🙏
Amen 🙏
I was thinking the same thing. They're all amazing. But this friend, Steven. What a hero!
Rae V.M I agree! What a hero!
Big props to the big guy that purposely took the brunt of the big waves in order to give father and son a fighting chance of surviving. You’re also a hero mate, true blue! 🇦🇺
I agree 💯%, definetly a hero!
He is a hero♡
I was exact at that moment when he told this being a wall and at that moment i read ur comment!!
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ O-O
Lost at sea story after story those with some blubber survive longer.
dad's love is amazing but we don't talk enough about his FRIEND's love and courage 😭
Wei Wei their friend was amazing 😁
Yesss
Indeed 👍
“If he goes, I go.” It brings so much tears to my eyes. There’s so much love for his son.
ETHAN TAN exactly
I know them
I had tears.
What a dad
And amazing son
And a brave friend
Good show all round
Amen everyone talks about a mother's love but my a father love for his son is unbreakable. I would do anything for my sons anything 🙏🤲
What a friend, what a dad, what a boy, thank God for saving them.
So if they weren’t saved then there is no God?
Leave your “God” out of shit. He doesn’t save anyone. He’s a fake. NOT REAL.
God is fake bro
It’s a lesson for them. But God let the bucket’s float to save them. Thank God for aaving them
@@deathnote9699 God didn't do anything, buckets float in water
Bitter! Burn in hell for those who don’t believe in God.
THE FRIEND IS A HERO !! He did so many things for the child and his friend ! Not even thinking about himself 🤍🤍 HEs a HERO !! God bless him 🤍🙏
Absolutely. Much is made of the child and dad, rightly, but how blessed to have one friend like that in a lifetime.
Thank you 😊
I sobbed when he said he’s going with him. I have a 13 yr old son and I would do the same. I can’t go on my life without him.
♥️♥️♥️
you might want other reasons to live kids grow up and leave
@@DavidGilesColorado you must not have kids because kids growing up and moving out is not even comparable to losing them.
Chantell j you are correct
Chantell j I have 2 fully grown and productive kids. Daughter 32 Son 35. I have zero reference with respect losing a kid I cannot imagine
Julian was a living angel, his dad is a hero, their friend is a hero, those rescuers were heroes. THEY'RE ALL HEROES. BLESS ALL OF THEM.💜
I am a hero too :D :D :D
He is a living miracle
@@zunghsi armys are everywhere 💜
Hey I'm from the future. I'm here to let you know our babies won 8 awards last night
@@LexieBears ah yes. I’ll wait 8 years to see that then.
"if he goes, I go"
-parenthood
That was my same thought, I would do the same for my children. That is why I will never understands why some parents take their kids lives, how!
I hate when the comment section is copied in different words over and over. A person doesnt need to have kids to understand what the father was going through smh
@@peekaboo_9698 yes, yes they do. You can not comprehend it even if you think you can until you have a child. You just can’t.
Don't we feel, if someone hurt our children, or our country
The interviewer was so sweet with the little boy 😭😭❤️❤️
Yes the interviewer was fantastic with the little boy and more concerned about his happiness than the interview. That is why it turned out to be a brilliant interview and so naturally and authentic, well done to him! and you for noticing this good luck from Ireland.
He was indeed sweet.
In a way, both dad and son saved each other and the sweet friend as their guardian angel
"the reason why I live, the reason why I breath...the reason I do anything in life..." my respect to that father
Why am i crying when the dad said if his son go he's gonna go with him
Because we witnessed unconditional love and we can relate to it somehow like we probably do the same if it was us in the ocean with our child.
@@alma2502 ur rite cuz if it was my child i would've reacted the same way
I felt that 100%...I said the same thing to my brother about my mother after her accident.
So did I
Crying.
I'm crying.
Thanks to you Beautiful GOD
That boy is so well spoken. He’s really good at expressing himself and his feelings. He has a great future ahead of him.
He is a hilarious little dude and has quite a personality for his age dont he.
This world needs more DADS like Julian's dad.
He wasn’t scare because he knew daddy was there holding him tight.Does how we feel when our heavenly Father holds us tight. We don’t fear, cuz daddy is there.
And the world also needs a true friend like the mate....
And more MOTHERS who would do the same :D
Love the way you interviewed the little bugger. Your human side shows and it's wonderful to see
That’s EXACTLY what I was going to type but you took the words right out of my thumbs 😊
I know them
“A shark won’t eat you...” he’s so cute, glad they’re all okay.
“What do you say when someone asks you what happened at school?”
“I tell them to look at the news” 😂😂😂 bruh
Preet Deol Had me cracking up
Whole mood 😂✌
This kid is a freaking legend 😂
WOW,OMG!!!!!! This was so scary for them I'm sure!!!!! I'm so glad they where able to stay a float on buckets, ALIVE until HELP ARRIVED!!! These are EXTREMELY EXTRAORDINARY men and a AMAZINGLY EXTRAORDINARY little Julian!!!! Thank GOD they where rescued!!!!! They came out ALRIGHT ALIVE!!!!!
😂😂😂
He wasn’t scare because he knew daddy was there holding him tight.Does how we feel when our heavenly Father holds us tight. We don’t fear, cuz daddy is there.
lol
@@Checkurgirlshedownbad what's so funny?.
Hot chocolate nothing about the video is funny if that’s what u think I’m laughing at 😐
Did you just refer to the heavenly father as 'daddy'?
Yesssssssssssss 🙌
That kid is gorgeous. What a little character! I can only imagine how his dad felt holding him up as he deteriorated over those horrible hours. I’m so glad they were all ok in the end by some absolute miracle.
Definitely the grace of God. 💝
His friend brought so many tears to my eyes!😭 bro you are so genuine! Not many of us can fine a true friend like you!😕
Thanks 😊
@@stephenjeacocke1530 you are awesome (: everyone needs a friend like you!
This little boy is different. He will be a blessing for many people.
BOT Terminator I agree. He has a great big personality doesn't he?!
When this kid grows up and hears his dad say the things he said. Maannn, thats going to be tough.
Sameen Choudhry the kid died...
What?? When how why???
iixEvacadosxii he’s still alive ...
Same thing I was thinking! And the son is going to grow up to be a EXCELLENT FATHER! Due to his father. I'm so happy for him!!!! 💖🙌💜
Evacado uhh did you not see the kid talking throughout the interview...:
Stephen also did a wonderful job. He also kept his head tried to take the big waves. He also made contact for help, without that phone call things could have been so different. Dad did an amazing job of holding onto his son. Well done. Xx
Thanks means so much to hear it from other people at the time it was nothing now later I really see what others think 🥰
@@stephenjeacocke1530 I know this comment is coming in a few years after you wrote this, but on the off chance you see it…I was so impressed with you throughout this story. The way you kept calm and stayed focused on what you could do to help this father in such a terrifying situation is absolutely remarkable! You seem like a very genuine and good-hearted person. Wishing you all the best in life!
Thank goodness they were all fine in the end. No more sleeping overnight on boats eh. I like this reporter/interviewer, he interacts well with children.
Yukie From Oz He interacts well with difficult adults too! I have seen a video of him interviewing Mary Kay Laternaeu if I’m not mistaken; such a gracious and unpretentious human being!
I know them and the first thing the boy said when he woke up was when are we going fishing again
Al Wa I mean you don’t wanna go on a boat thinking you may drown anyway
“A shark won’t eat you, EVERYBODY SAYS THIS it’s not even true😒” he is so cute 😂
e.m.e13G 11111 Would you like to get into a school of sharks and see?
Star Anna yes plz
@@StarAnnasDream e.m.e was quoting Julian.
But anyway, I have swam with sharks many times and nothing happens. Getting attacked by a shark is less likely than getting struck by lightning. They are ambush predators, so the only shark to worry about is the one you don't see.
Chewbecca101 facts
And at 12:41 is the most annoyed "yessss" I've ever heard in my life
When he spoke about not being able to live without his son I started crying. Every parents nightmare is to ever imagine not having their child
Dad's expression, son's smile and the lines "if he stops breathing I would let go of the bucket" I swear i cried. God saves. Thank god.
That little boys personality has a personality lol
Corena Garoutte yeeeeeeeeeah
Lol! Sure does!💕

Right!😂😂😂
"If he stops breathing, I'll just let the bucket go"
You can see in his eyes hes absolutely serious.
The love of a father is unconditional ❤️
Nimpa Nardo
The love of such a truly caring father. Yes indeed.
Oh that all children would have such beautiful loving adults in their life.
as any parents should be x
Wrong question :"how do you get so brave when you are so young?" the truth is, as we age we lose our courage.
3 as1 yes for sure in my case
3 as1: one of the most beautiful quotations in the world! Thank the Almighty God for your knowledge. Remain bless forever🙏😁👏💕✌
Facts
When we are young we don't know fear.
My lord, he has such an infectious smile and disposition. You can tell he’s being loved and taken care of well.
I'm so happy Julian survived without any harm ❤️
Me, too! What a miracle!
That little boy is an old soul 😭
exactly what I said x
Teena Davis I just commented the exact same thing!
That little boy has his father, and his "other" guardian Stephen (bless you Stephen) to count on.
All the praises they made it. But seriously, without Stephen, I don't think we would be watching this.
Emma B thank you as neither them 2 were good swimmers at all. I gave up the first bucket I found to them k owing I could just float then other bucket popped up right in front of me again was so unbelievable to see it coming up with head torch I had on big white glow slowly riseing from the depths below
@@stephenjeacocke1530 AMAZING. Thank you for keeping your head and thinking of trying the cell phone!! I would have just written it off as not working but you didn't. You're as much of a hero as the rescuers! Well done sir!
@@stephenjeacocke1530 you are amazing really amazing.
@@tiffanyyoung9671 thanks for the kind words really appreciate it 😍
@@stephenjeacocke1530 my respect for you went higher! thank u
What a cute little bugger !! Amazing face and more amazing smile!!
His dad is right! One of these smiles can make you forget all your worries!!
This child is really BLESSED !!
That beautiful little boy has so much personality that he can put a smile on anyone's face.
I’m not crying, my eyes are just watering, hard. Ok, I’m crying. 🙃 I’m a 28 year old man and I’m cool with admitting that. I don’t have children of my own yet. But I’m the proud uncle to a beautiful 5 year old Girl. I’ve essentially raised her from birth. We couldn’t be any closer if she was my own daughter. This story hit me right in the fucking feels man. It hurts to even IMAGINE enduring something similar. Same as this awesome dad, I know she would be my sole focus too. Let this be a reminder to not take a day, hour, minute, for granted. Life is TOO short y’all, we’re only here for such a short amount of time. And we’re ALL BLESSED to be given another day. Sure, some are more blessed than others, but at the end of the day if you’re reading this you’re more blessed than SO many that don’t even have access to the internet and don’t forget that. Some people are trying to go to bed right now on an empty stomach, not water, being abused, ect. There’s always somebody that has it worse than you. Do NOT let ANYTHING or ANYBODY prevent you from living your OWN BEST LIFE!!! And if there is than break away from whatever it is as soon as you can. I want nothing but the best for everybody and wish you all TRUE HAPPINESS, ALL LOVE!! ✌🏻
Edit: sorry for the long winded comment but this story hit different!
You'll make a wonderful father one day.
I'm sending love and warmth to your beautiful niece and family ❤️
It sounds like you're an amazing father to your niece, being a Dad is more then being the sperm donor, it's everything that comes after that makes you a Dad. Love and caring is so important.
@@neatznotso7424 love this comment, so true
@@clairejohnston2122 thanks :)
Beautiful words ❤️ will will make a great daddy one day and your niece is lucky to have you. 🙏
I love the reporter for this story. He’s so real. He shows emotion and compassion. This story warmed my heart. Thanks for sharing
Awww; I do believe that children are a gift from God!! Their soul is so pure and full of love; thank you God for protecting him!!!
AMEN!
Amen
Wish souls existed then we would know how much are family is suffering after they die
When Julian talks about the sharks I lost it, how funny and adorable. What a brave little boy! So glad they are okay ❤
Monica Saldana I will never be afraid of a shark again😂😂😂
@@karolynarau9513 right!! Lmao!!
"If he goes, I'm going" ...every loving parent of a single child would do the same..I know I would. ❤
I would in a heartbeat!
What about the wife losing you both?!?
I have 2 children so I wouldn't want to leave the other child alone.
@@honestheartedtruthseekerso6864 Exactly.
'If he goes down, I go down with him' - That comment broke me.
"If He goes, I go"
He loves his son so much that he would follow him to death😪😢😭
Duuuh
This made me cry!
I am not a father myself but a very proud uncle and great uncle and as such would like to commend the other guy in this story for reminding us of the human capacity to empathise.
It goes without saying that I also give kudos to this amazing father and his equally amazing kid
My Heart melt when the father said, when he goes i go with him am not letting go of him, he his the reason i woke up every morning to work, God bless this man he his indeed a great father.
Thank u Jesus for those buckets and Julian's wonderful and full recovery.
I know him and we call him guilly
Please do not comment these types of comments since you will receive hate comments! Keep any religious comments to yourself! Comments like these will be hated on!
You should be actually thanking the rescue team! They put all their effort into saving them! All the praise goes to the rescue team! The rescue team’s skill and hope helped them rescue them! Please show some praise to them as they deserve it!!! I hope I didn’t offend you! I’m just trying to help!!!!
@Christine K. Just to run in some salt, let's talk about the pious followers of your religion, known as priests let us thank god for accepting the prayers of such followers, followers whom have scarred countless youths who followed them, and these poor youths, whom must have begged for gods mercy only to recieve the unwanted love from their priests and nuns. THANK YOU GOD WE LOVE YOU SO VERY MUCH. Now I'm going to go back to finishing my prayers to satan so at least I recieve goodwill from him when I inevitably die
Priests nuns are not part of the New Testament they were positions created by Catholicism for power.. it’s not Biblical. Jesus is our High Priest and all believing Christians are the Royal Priesthood
Qkiiyo you need help , don’t say not to give praise to our god and try not to offend someone you offended me so next time just don’t type your opinion dude
Omg this turned my stomach. Cannot even fathom the terror they felt. Someone was watching over them when that boat sank
God was watching over them thats for sure. So glad they survived. 💜💜
Jesus was 😊
Analisa Struck lol but he did nothing to save them! The rescue team were the ones who saved them with their skill and determination!!! They deserve all the praise!!! 😊 I hope I didn’t offend anyone
@@Zoyiekka tbh as an atheist I agree , but it is okay for people to thank god . It is thanks that is important anyways.
Qkiiyo Maybe it was Charles Darwin..u oaf.
This little guy is just amazing. His huge smile he does especially when he’s telling parts of the story and giggles, makes you laugh, you couldn’t be sad with seeing that face! Well done to all of them for keeping each other alive I hope your all well today
What an absolute nightmare, your sleeping on a boat with your son and friend and wake up to it sinking within minutes. That’s terrifying, I don’t think I’d make it if this happened to me.
Girl sameee. I'd be so terrified I'd probably die from a heart attack before I even drown smh
Amazing what you would do if it happed to you to stay alive. And fight. Is a natural human thing it kicks In. 6 hrs a lot of things go thru your mind. Lots of different scenario come to mind
@@stephenjeacocke1530
Especially if you got people there that need you.
@@serpentinewolf7085 yer wasn’t a good thing to go thru hopefully never again. Taken more emergency security things on to the next boat
Might
23:04 This interviewer is so amazing with children, if he dosen't have any kids...he should. He would be a great father like the Dad he's interviewing. 💖💓
Maybe the interviewer have a great dad himself enough to know how it felt to be loved by a father and love him back.
Bruh where can I find a friend like him. Melts my heart!
Thanks
Which one of them? Is it greedy I want all 3 as friends lol! What a great story! The kid is going to be some man one day, great parents, and the friend superb, all of them!
That man deserves being called DAD♡♡♡♡
cell phone and buckets played a major role on this amazing survival story
What about dad holding his son on his shoulder the whole 6 hours.
Alibo Achumi
Yes, and their caring friend who is not a good swimmer, taking the impact of the waves, to protect the loving father holding on to his little son.
@@stevengonzalez27 ya. What a good friend. My heart hurts 😥
I believe God played a major role too 🙌
@Bread Boi
Yeah ? Well, who do you think is granting you your next breath ? 🤔
I pray to find someone like this man to be my child father, he'll be determined to save our children no matter what.
"A Hero Dad".
If my son goes, I goes along with him. 👨👦.
I’m actually scared of deep water , I cannot imagine how scared they were 🤧 thank god they fought through this
Me too.
Same here too I’m frighten of deep water I would have anxiety attack n fall into the deep water his so brave god works he save them by giving them the bucket amen 🙏
Me too. I never go to beaches.
As a father I cant imagine how he felt the whole entire time. I would've done exactly the same thing if I was in his situation. I always say my kids are my strength but the same time they are my weakness.
Imagine the types of courage takes for his dad to stay brave for his son! So glad they are safe
Honestly the son saved them both in my mind because it gave them something to focus on
The most bright & articulate, well spoken boy. So cute
HE IS SO PRECIOUS🥺🥺🥺
I’m so glad they’re all okay, that child is incredibly brave and so are the men that saved his life. Their bond is unbreakable. 💕
Praise God 😇😇😇Those are miracles God is still doing today. Thank you heavenly father for your love💙

What a miracle all is well. Have great life's 🌷🌷🌷
I fear the ocean, I can't go in the water without someone going with me, a lot of things come into mind when I'm in the water. Is so scary and this made it worse.

@@maddimead8851 wtf, lmaooo
_Jojo Mar_ I swear I’m not lying 😂😭 it only happens sometimes doe
Jaws wrecked it for me. Never go into the water
My family is always like "Let's go to Tennessee and go in the lake" while they clearly forget that I am terrified of deep water if its clear water I'm fine to go in it if its murky water...no just no
Thank you lord they survive. I’m happy to see the young man smiling while in the interview. I’m so proud to his dad and family’s friend. Indeed they do have a good heart that’s why GOD guide them and help them. Watching here from Philippines.
I think the son save them both! Gave them hope. My kids save me everyday we are so blessed to have kids
His mum is right about everyone falling in love with Julien. He's a treasure! So happy all 3 are alive and well
Omg how cute is he! Just adorable. So happy they're all ok.
Cute Lil boy.
Julian has the most genuine, happy smile that is both heartwarming and contagious. Love that kid.
And the look on the friend face as he was describing maybe losing the son and dad broke my heart in two.... so much emotion and pain.... bless that man and all three!!!!
This reminded me a lot of the show “I Shouldn’t Be Alive” what a strong boy and such a wonderful father. I’m so glad they are all safe❤️
Maria and an angel of a friend
The love that Dad has for his son brought me to tears.. that boy is a strong little guy with a attitude without fear, so strong, God is great & miracles still happen!
The family is so beautiful, the dad is heroic, the son is super brave, the friend shouldn’t be call friend cuz he deserved to be part of their family. The little boy is very sensible, intelligent, & thoughtful, protect him and their family at all cost. They are so precious ✨🙌🏼
He just might be the cutest 7 years old aside from my daughter .. hehe
I miss 2019 too 😭
Good One...
Always wear life jackets the whole time you're on a boat.

This little guy is too adorable 😍 and the Dad is a hero.
So happy they all survived
When he said, " I don't want to live without my son." Make me smile and cry. This is love ❤️
What a nightmare. I am so happy that it had a happy ending. This is such a powerful video all throughout.
The father, the friend and the beautiful beautiful boy!!! Just amazing people ❤️❤️❤️
That boy has truly got to be the bravest, luckiest boy in the world right now, the love between the boy and his dad is strong,and that love is what kept them strong, god bless this family and the friend too!!!
Julian reminds me of my nephew his age. So full of life and joy in his eyes when talking to people or telling a story. I'm so glad they all survived!🙏🤗
My Godson is like this too so smart and adorable.
That kid is TOO ADORABLE!
"Hes the reason why i live, the reason why i breath" that quote made me teary eyed. I am a mother and love my son with everything i am. I didn't know true love until i gave birth to my son. Being a parent is the most beautiful thing you go through in life. Hard, but beautiful. And that best friend is so amazing👏👏👏
What a beautiful boy...inside and out! Parents are so lucky to have such a spirited son....
With a winning smile to boot! God bless them all! ❤️💕❤️
That little boy's personality reminds me of my own 7 year old son so much. I can't even imagine what that dad and mom were going through. And their friend is an amazing man. Taking the brunt of the waves for the dad and kid. This story really got to me.
I'm sobbing here. What amazing story of survival of love and friendship ❤
This has got to be the most sweetest...adorable little boy I have ever seen or heard. My goodness and smart too.
Wow that little man was born to be a leader , 27. Years from now he will be a leader . May Allah bless his ages and growth .
Ameen!
Cairo Caesar all I can say is that this was true miracle,
Allah is not God. Jesus is God.

"If he goes, I go." As a mother of 2 young kids, hearing the father say that hit hard cause its like that. 😭😭😭
This dad here is just simply amazing and I truly cried tears of joy ❤️
I've fished that area many times and have seen Great Whites out there, they were VERY lucky!
Oh no that's awful. They were lucky.
😇They were being watched over
They weren’t lucky they were being watched over by our good Lord. No luck needed when you have the king of the universe watching over you ❤️
@@Elanor4510 amen to that. We often forget to praise and thanks to The only one who can protect us. Our Heavenly Daddy Jesus Christ.
They're not lucky, they're LOVED by the MOST HIGH!!
So touching, and so special. What a boy, what a dad, what a friend and great rescuers.
This child is LOVE ❤️ A reflection of his parents and the friends they keep! Beautiful
Great job, guys. A little boy with a smile to melt all hearts. Life jackets are needed on all water trips, please.
Judy A. Shroads life jackets were on the boat in a easy to get to spot or float out of boat if such needed. Not wearing them actually save maike and Jillian as the jacket would of held them in the boat as it sunk. Boat went that quick and perpendicular every thing got caught under boats awning. Police returned all safety gear from boat when divers went down 3 weeks later
There was safety gear on the boat but they weren’t able to grab it because of how the boat tipped
