: "My kids had just gone swimming, I brought my then 2-year-old inside to get dressed. I went to get his clothes and, before I realized it, he ran back outside. Thank god my then 9-year-old daughter Bella and 6-year-old daughter Priscilla were still outside and saw Maximus go into the pool. Bella didn’t hesitate to jump in and pull her brother out, Priscilla got a towel and wrapped it around him. I came out shortly after and was so proud of my girls but also so upset at myself. I should have closed the pool and will always remember how close I came to losing my baby. Max is totally fine and he is taking swim lessons now. He will always remember when his big sister saved his life."
