A parent’s love knows no bounds. One mother, Lori Keeney from Oklahoma, had her child go to the end of the earth for her when he saved her. Keeney and her son Gavin were enjoying a nice morning in their backyard pool when something went horribly wrong.
Getting out of the pool for a moment, Gavin realized that his mom wasn’t doing well. Gavin was on the porch when he heard splashes. As he ran to the pool, he saw his mom drifting to the bottom. Gavin jumped into the pool to save his mother. Until safety arrived, he was able to lift her up and keep her head above water. While waiting for his grandpa to arrive, the son carried his mother to the pool ladder.
For saving his mom, he received an award of a lifetime. Gavin was awarded for his bravery by the Kingston Police Department. Gavin saved his mom’s life based on instinct and love. The love of Keeney’s life is now her hero as well. Her seizure and epilepsy symptoms were revealed in an interview with Good Morning America. Keeney doesn’t know whether she would have survived her seizure in the pool without her son. It was scary for Gavin, but he knew he had to save his mother.
