Praise be to God!
What a real hero!
God Bless him.
The article left out the most important thing that wise little boy said:
“It’s ok to be scared, but you’re brave inside and you can do it when you want to.”
What a terrible fate that child was saved from. God bless this little brother with a heart like a lion.
Happy story in this sea of bad news. Thank you.
The father knew his son could pull this off.
Wow! A Christmas miracle... and a heroic older brother.
What part of Tennessee did this happen????
Beautiful story!
I needed to hear this.
God bless this little boy and his family.
================================================================
“I didn’t want my sister to die,” a 7-year-old Tennessee boy explained of rescuing his year-old sibling from a raging fire that destroyed their home on Tuesday.
Parents Nicole and Chris Davidson, two former firefighters, first smelled smoke in the middle of the night and quickly tried to get their three children out of their burning New Tazewell home, WVLT reported.
Nicole Davidson recalled the flames didn’t allow her to go to her 22-month-old daughters’ room.
That’s when little Eli Davidson came to the rescue.
After the family got out, Eli’s parents gave him a boost so he could enter his sister’s room through her window.
Once inside, he grabbed her from her crib and handed her to their father safely, before jumping back down again, according to WVLT.
Eli said he put his fears aside and solely focused on saving his baby sister.
“Dad busted the window and then I said, ‘I can’t do it,’ like two times, and then I said, ‘I got her dad,’” the boy told the outlet. “When we went down there I said, ‘I was scared but I didn’t want my sister to die.’”

What a dear, dear, brave, brave little boy, Eli is! Bless him
What a brave little man!
Here is an irony: Trayvon Martin did something similar when he was 9. He dragged his father from a burning apartment.
This little boy is a hero, but it would be wise to consider that such heroism needs to be cultivated and nurtured throughout youth. Otherwise, a good kid can become a menace as a teenager or young adult.
God bless this young hero!
