Real love would have been not letting her stay there alone and then going to help after the water got up to his window. Real love would have been if he rushed right over instead of making sure to move slow and frame up his video for the movie. Real love would have been getting her out of the water as soon as possible instead of taking a pic and then a selfie with her still in neck deep water. Real love wouldn't have had video documentation.

@@robaguilar4978 If my one-legged, wheelchair-bound elderly mother refused to leave when we were told storm surge could get up to 16 feet, I'd be able to convince her. If not, the family would stay with her. And I DEFINITELY wouldn't wait until the water got up to my window before calmly and slowly going after her. Did you miss the part where he took the time to make sure he was recording video and moving slow enough to keep himself framed up? His hat was even dry and he slowly made his way there. Did you also miss the part where he stopped to take a picture of her through the window? Did you miss the part where he was so concerned about hypothermia that he took the time to take a selfie with her in neck deep water before getting her out of the water? The guy's not a hero.

Love is not leaving your one-legged, wheelchair-bound mother alone when you were told how high the storm surge would be. Love is not waiting until the water gets up to your window before you decide to go get your mom who can't stand up higher than the water. Love is not spending the time to get your camera perfectly framed and moving slow to make sure you don;t get your camera or hat wet when going to save your mom. Love is not stopping to take a picture of her before going inside. Love is not taking a selfie with her in the water while you claim to be worried about hypothermia. A hero is someone who doesn't stop to think about recording video or someone who's more concerned about getting his hat wet than moving fast through the water to save someone. If he were a real hero, we would have no video evidence of any of this.

I'm thinking, he was trying to get her killed. Why else would he have waited until the water got so high before going to check on her? Plus, he moved very slowly.

Her refusing to leave could've cost her son his life. Imagine that guilt...
