Quick-Thinking Son Saves Mom From Falling Tree

A quick-thinking boy saved his mother’s life in the nick of time after spotting a tree falling right where she was sitting.

The weather was perfect for going outdoors, so the mother and her two boys went outside to their backyard pool. She sat nearby on a pool chair, sunbathing under a huge tree.

She was reading a book and enjoying herself while her boys played in the pool. Suddenly, one of the boys noticed the tree starting to fall and called out to his mom, who was too preoccupied to hear him.

Then there was a loud cracking sound from the tree above their mother. She looked up to see what it was and bolted away just in time. She escaped by seconds as the tree split near its base and began falling toward her.

The mother was saved by just a few inches and didn’t stop running until she reached the back door. The boys didn’t even have time to get out of the pool, as it all happened in a matter of moments.

“Are you okay?” one of the boys asked.

“I almost died,” the mother can be heard saying as she looks at the fallen tree. She is completely shaken and goes inside the house to compose herself.

The boys then leave the pool, looking shocked at the fallen tree, thanking God that their mother’s life was saved in the nick of time.
