This story will warm your heart. Josias and Crystal Canul were in their second-floor apartment in Topeka, Kansas Monday evening, when their mother saw a little girl drowning in the pool. The kids wasted no time rushing to the toddler's rescue, with 6-year-old Crystal jumping in the water and 11-year-old Josias helping pull the child from the water. The siblings saved the 2-year-old's life and they became instant heroes in my book!

The kids' mom, Maria Marchand, says she sent her kids because she's not a good swimmer and they are. The toddler had apparently wandered off without her father noticing and had ended in the fenced-in pool because the gate was open.
Police are convinced that if the Canul siblings hadn't rescued the little girl when they did, she would've drowned. Crystal, who's only in first grade, said she was "really scared" because the toddler looked "kind of drowned," according to The Topeka Capital-Journal.
Even so, she didn't let that get in the way of trying to save her life. Once her brother pulled her out of the water, the siblings went door to door trying to find the little girl's parents. Can you imagine how the father must have reacted when he realized that his daughter could have died?
He's so lucky that the kids' mother saw his little girl trying to stay afloat from her apartment window because this story could've very easily had a tragic ending otherwise.
Crystal and Josias are two incredible little kids and they should be extremely proud of themselves for such an amazing deed!
