NEW YORK (AP) -- A woman was recovering Saturday from skin graft surgery for burns she suffered when she rescued her 4-week-old twin sons and two other children from a fire in their apartment, then went back to save a fifth child.
Firefighters found Nabila Nazli unconscious from smoke inhalation but still cradling 5-year-old daughter Nimrah to protect her from the flames.

It is heartening, because I believe that the vast majority of mothers are like this one. The bad stuff sells BECAUSE it is so aberrant and strange to most of us.

I loved what her son said about "she was just a dull mother, concerned with nutrition and boring stuff like that, and then all of a sudden she saves our lives." That made me smile so big!

The reason they don't print stories like this so often, is because this is what a Mom is SUPPOSED to do.
