It was their way of seeing if their children can agree together or not. As everyone liked to stay with each other, the couple decided to make it official.
A beautiful family
The family understood Angelia's daughter, Keira, the children of Brandyn, Paris and Trenton, and their son of a year, Bryson. Everyone was close to each other but Brandyn has always shared a special link with Keira. He treated it without less than a small princess and was always up to all his wishes.
A close link
Keira was the least talkative in the group and more observer. Brandyn took this as his responsibility to build a good relationship of trust with the little girl. He regularly spent time with her and make sure she had no problem. Brandyn knew Beira before meeting her mother while he was the coach of the neighborhood basketball team.
A father hero
Although Angelia and Brandyn lived together for a few years only Keira accepted him wholeheartedly as his father. He was a hero to her. Brandyn will soon prove that his daughter's point of view on him was right and indeed, he was a hero. All his wishes have been made once Brandyn has learned to know it and that day too, she put such a wish before her father.
Wish Tiny Teeny
It seemed to be a single wish, a wish to swim with his father. She insisted on it even if she did not know how to swim. In addition, Angelia did not want Brandyn to listen to all his wishes, the more they had to be with the other members of the family. In one way or another, the daughter Father Duo has managed to convince Angelia.
Swim
On May 19, when the rest of the family started with games and more on the lake, Keira and Brandyn headed for the lake. They brought a large floating device that will keep Keira's safety. Angelia knew that there is nothing to fear that Keira was with Brandyn and, therefore, she was also busy with her friends, children and parents.
Want to save lives
Brandyn, the 25 years were a veteran of war. He joined the armed forces just after graduating from high school. He joined the National Guard of the Army of Tennessee and withdrew after six years of services. It was at that time that he moved to Texas and met Keira as a coach and later Angelia. Brandyn was always ready to help people and even after retirement, he wanted to serve people.
Become a firefighter
Become a firefighter was Brandyn's dream and he was therefore preparing to register for a famous college to complement his studies. "He wanted to be a firefighter because he wanted to save lives. Run when everyone is short, "said Angelia. Nobody has ever thought it will put these instincts to use on this family picnic.
Difficulty
Keira and Brandyn have lost trace of their distance from the shore and reached in the middle of the lake. Keira was happy and that's all Brandyn wanted; See the little girl smile. But it did not take long for the joyful moments to move. It all started when Keira had trouble holding on the floating device ...
Ice
In an adjustment effort correctly on the floating device, Keira fell on it. Brandyn immediately tried to grab the hand of the little girl but was missing. The most brandyn tried to recover her on the boat, the more she slipped. She did not know how to swim and the veterinarian of the army could not see her daughter drowning and knew he has to jump.
Enter the water
Brandyn asked him to hold and jump into the water. He tried to push it up so that she could ride on the floating device. What appeared to be an easy task was going to be the most difficult thing to do. In a few minutes, the whole scene has gone from normal to control ...
Push up
Keira started panicking and it made it difficult for Brandyn to take a hand on the little girl and recover it on the floating device. It was the first time something like that happened and she did not expect anything like this to happen. Brandyn tried to calm her down by shouting that everything will be fine. Unfortunately, this is not the way things were going to be; Okay.
A horrible scene
"It's going to be ok. It's a great swimmer," said Angelia herself told himself. Angelia noticed what was happening from the beach but thought everything was under control. She could see Brandyn helping Keira back to The boat. While it was quite certain that everything will be fine, in the middle of the lake, the reality was that every moment brought them death.
The real scene
While Brandyn recovered Keira on the floating boat, he himself tired after making every effort to save her. He told Keira to stay there and try to go back to the floating device. As he was extremely exhausted, he became almost impossible for him to come back. So he told Keira that he would just stay there with her.
A bad day
Even if Brandyn was a big swimmer, that day, things were not in his favor. It took a few minutes for the little girl to stand on herself. And raise his breath at the normal. When she looked around Brandyn was nowhere ... "Where did he go? Did he leave her alone in the middle of the lake? "Keira rejected thoughts like this.
Have problems in the lake
And when Angelia could not locate Brandyn anywhere where she ran to ask her friends to locate him. None of them could see it. Everyone knew how good he was swimmer, but no one knew how serious the scene is at that time. Without delaying further, they immediately called for help.
Disbelief and sadness
They called for emergency services and the following 15 minutes, Lewisville's fire department managed to send a rescue diving team on site. "To be in the army and all that, he could swim like a fish. That's why I can not understand what happened," said Brandyn's mother who was unable to believe what was pass.
Not found
The diver team brought Keira back to the shore but could not locate brandyn. The family was knocked out by what has just happened. How could a swimmer's expert leave like that? What happened? Where was he? They were not ready to believe that he had gone before the team found his body.
3 hours later
The search operation took place for the next 3 hours and finally Brandyn's body was brought to the shore. His family, his friends, his children, his fiancée, all stood there in disbelief. Children have been brought home. The lake that overloaded with merry moments was now surrounded by total silence that was disturbed only by the sob.
Keira blamed herself
Keira started to blame for what happened. She rely on how she insisted on going to swim when she was not even part of their plan. The little one was not his fault and someone needed to tell him that.
Grief of the mother
Brandyn's mother was the one who looked like Keira crossed and tried to console her even when herself was a broken heart. She explained to Keira that Brandyn loved him so much that he saved his life and that she is proud of her son and should be Keira.
He saved his life
"He was an incredible father. He was loved and we will miss. No matter what, he was a hero, "said Angelia. Every person who knew Brandyn knew him as a kind and joyful person. And his sacrifice was a proof that he was indeed a hero.
A good guy
"When he was around you, everyone spent a good time. He rarely crazy. Things you think to make someone upset just brushing like, what ", reminded her mother who knows he's gone and her absence reminds her of this unfortunate day every time.
A young life
"His dream was to travel around the world. We often dreamed of a honeymoon explore Europe. He really wanted to see the world through his own eyes, not just an image, "said Angelia. She could only think about honoring her in all the ways she can.
A sad goodbye
