@metrouk: A father of three who sacrificed himself to save his family from the Texas flash floods told them, “I’m sorry, I’m not going to make it. I love y’all.’ Julian Ryan, 27, died after the Guadalupe River in central Texas rose 30 feet and flooded into his family’s home. Ryan’s fiancée, Christina Wilson, said she and her family had been sleeping when the water in their home rose to knee-level in ’20 minutes’. ‘We ran back into the room and we started calling 911, but the water just kept coming. We had no choice but to get out,’ she said. In a bid to save his family, Ryan punched a window to help his partner, three children, and his mum reach the roof – but sliced open his arm in the process. Ryan severed an artery and nearly cut his arm off. Emergency responders weren’t able to reach the family in time, and he died of his injuries hours later. #texas #texasfloods #flashflood #worldnews

Only fathers will ever understand the feeling this man was going through. He lead his family to safety. HIS FAMILY WAS SAVED because of his actions. As fathers we all know that NOTHING ELSE MATTERS. He gave his life for his family and I know for a fact he would do it again with out any hesitation. RIP HERO!

I just know this man is being celebrated in heaven with the Lord... bible says there's no greater love than to lay down one's own life for a friend (or a loved one) 😔

advice for others that might encounter a situation like this. Cover your arm and hand with whatever cloth you have nearby, a curtain, a shirt, a pant, when breaking glass. You will minimize the risk of getting hurt. ❤️He truly was a hero.
