If you were in a sinking ship, and you were with your husbund/wife and your mother-in-law, and you only have 2 life jackets with you. Who will you give the other lifejacket? Is it your husband/wife or your mother-in-law? I for myself I will give the 2 life jackets to them. I would be so happy if both of them were safe, eventhough I would risk my own life. Some of the people will call it suicide to give it to them, but for its giving! So how about you guys? who would you choose?

Yes, it would definitely sad if you lost someone special to you. I just lost my mother five years ago and until now I just missed her. I missed her presence and her tender loving care for me. Now I have tears in my eyes. Thanks for a wonderful response.

I will give the other life jacket to my mother-in-law so that she will be safe. My husband and I know how to swim. But I am very sure that my husband will give me the other life jacket, 101 percent sure about that. But if other people are there for example my friends well honestly I just save my life first not because I am selfish but of course I want to enjoy my life while I am young. lol! haha

I actually agree with you on giving them both of the life jackets. I realize that I would be risking my life just so theirs would be safe. I always dreamed of saving people or helping people in need.

Yeah. Me too, actually I love helping others. My friends once told me that Im to kind to others thats why some of them are taking me for granted. But its fine with me, all I want is to help and I just let God do the rest for me.

I would give one of the lifejackets to my fiance and the other one to my mother-in-law. I love my fiance, but I also like mother-in-law very much, and I couldn't choose only one of them. I'd rather risk my own life if I were in that situation. I can swim, of course that doesn't mean that I would survive no matter what, but I know that I would have a chance to survive. My fiance can swim, too, so my mother-in-law would be the person that I would worry about the most if we were on a sinking ship.
