Mindy Tran was just starting to feel like her life was improving. The 22-year-old mother from Lawrence, MA spent a hard season in a homeless shelter (庇护所) with her 2-year-old twin girls, Saleen and Sydney. Her situation changed for the better when she found an apartment and got her girls into a an ordinary morning, Mindy put her girls into the car and went to shut the door of her home. As she was shutting her door, the car began to roll towards traffic. When Mindy saw the car rolling towards the street, she made a quick decision. Realizing her daughters’ lives were in
danger, Mindy lay on the ground without hesitation.
A neighbor rushed over to help and got her daughters out of the car. As for Mindy,
firefighters stabilized (使稳定平衡) the car with wooden blocks and used an airbag to lift the car off her. Mindy was sent to a Boston hospital where she is currently recovering. Mindy’s daughters were safe but she had her shoulder and her knee injured.
One reader’s comment on the ABC article sums up what many are thinking:
What an awesome mom! Some moms drive their kids into ponds and oceans. This one laid
down her life to save her children’s. THAT is what being a parent is about— raising your babies to live and grow into adulthood, and protecting them with your life.
Mindy’s example should cause our nation to reflect on the true meaning of motherhood.
