The moral of the story is that a craving for cheese biscuits is always a good idea.

[@kgs2280]

Now I’m craving them! Too bad I’m on the West Coast right now, but I’m sure I can find a recipe online.

[@randomname9758]

That family had five guardian angels who came by at the right time !!!! Fantastic heroes all these women. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@rebeccafox4880]

It amazes me how some people, with the right skills, are at the right place at the right time. I hope the oldest son will get the help he needs to deal with his trauma. Sometimes we get caught up in all of the praise of the saving and forget about those who are having trouble dealing with it.

[@pamelajackson6730]

I was in a car accident that left me severely injured. A nurse and a medical student were the ones who stayed with me until the ambulance came. They told me what to do. Before help had came I had said, "God I don't want to die."

[@zoni3gurl641]

The one girl should receive a lifetime supply of those cheese biscuits!!

[@river8760]

Those girls are absolutely fantastic humans.

[@760mom]

I'm sure you would have done the same given the opportunity.

[@rj-zz8im]

Awesome job. Terrifying, but awesome. I don't know that I would send them to a water themed resort after that experience, but I hope they have a great time and maybe learn to swim and perform CPR so it's not a phobia for life.

[@ann40069]

Oh good I wasn't the only one thinking that. .

[@randomvlogsandthings]

I thought that too

[@absatwell8163]

I thought that as well. Please get your kids In the water early (not like this event), so they learn swimming basics . Even just learning to float on your back helps.Im sure the resort has lifeguards though and they have to be trained in water rescue CPR, which is different than dry land CPR.

[@elliewillow4556]

That’s what I was thinking too!

[@Ethanpond42]

These girls are beautiful, and they all became heroes.

[@midlifeandnailingit6342]

Mamas not doing so good. Therapy really helped me when I was in a horrible accident when my kids were littles. PTSD from an event like this when your children are involved is a very big thing.

[@jimmyhoffa2458]

You all were exactly where you were suppose to be at that exact time. It wasn't by chance. God placed you all there. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND THOSE YOU SAVED.

[@CandaceAustin-bv2wo]

There are no accidents, god sent them that way. God Bless those young women.❤

[@thepoetthatwasi1722]

God is a pigment of your imagination. Religion is mass delusion.

[@Thumbhit1]

A child dies every 4 seconds around earth. Your made up gawd doesn't give a dam about anyone. Wake up.

[@michellemariem]

So amazing. God is always working, and these ladies are amazing🩷

[@nessflores6484]

Brave young women

[@laurarose1234]

These girls are a blessing. Thank you!

[@lindacarroll6896]

God works in mysterious ways.

[@debbiebramwell]

Yes, he does!

[@Coffeeenthusiastmom]

that He does! ❤😊

[@thepoetthatwasi1722]

We are the animal that created God.

[@Thumbhit1]

@@thepoetthatwasi1722 Right you are. The indoctrinated rarely can understand reality. Anthropologists have counted around 18,000 gods, goddesses, animals and objects worshiped.

[@dsscam]

They're all so beautiful - inside and out!

[@beatricemarquez5861]

Hero’s everyone! God had you there for a purpose and you sprung into action in need! God bless each one and this family who was spared!

[@Cooking_Through_Time]

Beautiful women inside and out. My fear is not coming upon something like this but having to call 911 and not having a clue where I am to get help out there.

[@karanna1]

They’re able to track most 911 calls these days with GPS so just make the call and operator will do the rest as you stay on the phone with them.

[@yvonne8786]

Awesome job ladies!! Very scary situation. Water is no joke

[@elliewillow4556]

These girls are very special ❤ I do not think that sending the family who almost died in water to a water resort 😮

[@angelaamare9290]

These young ladies are inspiring and great human beings. Big hearts thanks for your courage

[@GodsgirlAngel]

That was the Lord helping them through these beautiful girls. :)

[@amelimagnon3146]

I am crying SOO scary an now being a first time mom way to go girs

[@kevindelaney1951]

Excellent reactions & actions. Well done ladies.

[@kgs2280]

Great story. I don’t usually like to tell people what they “should” do, but I do think that everybody who can should learn CPR. You might be in a situation like this where you could save someone’s life. I remember we all learned it in middle school, along with the Heimlich Maneuver. I never was in a situation where I had to use it, but I was always glad I knew it just in case. Do they still teach those methods in school?

[@colingarcia5452]

God lead them there

[@myronwheatley1637]

Thank You Ladies!

[@midlifeandnailingit6342]

I love this!!!

Many years ago, while traveling through TN, on our way to KY, we took a different route than normal. We pulled to the intersection of Hwy 52 and 31W. We were in the right lane waiting for the light to turn, and since it is legal to make a right turn on red, I looked to my left to check oncoming traffic. There was none. BUT, as we were making the right turn, I saw flames under the car sitting at the light. We pulled over, and while I ran screaming for the mother to get her kids out of the car, the other person called 911. Oddly, there were zero cars on that road, until I started running. Suddenly, 2 tractor trailers pulled up, one with a fire extinguisher, and about 6 other cars appeared. When the fire was out, the men pushed the car to a lot across the street, then everyone disappeared. There wasn't another car for the next hour. While this was happening a Sumner County sheriff's car drove by - and never stopped. No emergency vehicles appeared from the 911 call. We stayed at the scene for over an hour waiting with the young mother and 2 kids while someone came to get her. As we headed home, that very sheriff's car was parked less than 1/2 mile away - at a speed trap. The next day I called the county office and complained, asking why emergency vehicles never appeared. Their reasoning was that it was a city of Gallatin issue, and I told them it didn't matter whether it was city or county, there could have been 3 people killed if that car had exploded and 8-10 people hadn't appeared to help. They stated they were in the process of changing their 911 system, and I told them that was unconscionable - you don't suspend 911 service - you disable the first system when the second one is operational. They told me to talk to the City. The city told me they had no idea where that intersection was. I told them they were lying because 31W is a main artery from Louisville KY to Nashville TN and it's been in the same place for 200 years (it was a stagecoach route). 31W runs through the center of Gallatin. Their response was that the mother and children were OK, therefore it was not their concern. I swore I would never move to Sumner County, TN.

[@benjones7641]

I didn’t realize until this video how fit Kelly has become. Amazing transformation! Also, is it just me or does she not resemble a young Marie Osmond in this video?

[@SweetStephee]

💒🙏❤️. The Lord's hand at work❤❤❤

[@maryadair5697]

That was definitely God's hand. Amazing! ♥️♥️♥️

[@colleengrier2673]

Don't let me go. I want to see you and your family

[@samanthadillard2853]

When I was in 7th grade back in the 80s that was one of the things that we had to take in health class was the CPR and we had to get the certificate for it we had to pass

[@elizarice43]

Sycronicity❤

[@amynaddra7230]

God orchestrated the whole rescue

[@SL-lz9jr]

Hope the oldest kid is in therapy to process the trauma.

[@colleengrier2673]

I am not letting you go at all I hope you felt me today

[@lauralomonaco5847]

❤❤❤

[@NoteFromSELF]

What's up with the long pauses from the dispatcher? Or was it edited that way?

[@kathykoeven]

Sounded very edited.

[@TheAmericanIdol]

I don't believe in "God" but I sure believe in some sort of higher power and this is some proof in the pudding for something out there, what a MiRACLE!! And what brave young girls on top of it, wow.

[@michelleeggers719]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@SL-lz9jr]

Wait, aren’t there gators in Georgia? Sorry, delayed reaction. I’m imagining a worse case scenario where someone jumps in to help but is devoured by a gator. Yikes! Glad that didn’t happen. I’m not from the south so I have no idea where the gators live.

[@ariesbarb418]

AND SNAKES!!

[@carolinegramith3411]

No, I don’t think they were in gator territory. There are gators near the bottom of Georgia.

[@760mom]

Crazy coincidence or God?
