Launch a Memory Eric's Legend 13-40

Lily Hands

My mom used to say that the sea was a ‘cruel mistress’. In the 1960’s, she watched helplessly, while Dad swam out to sea to rescue my two oldest siblings, whilst she held my sister Tina in her arms. She said it was the most terrifying moment of her life, she thought she would lose them all. Thankfully, my Dad managed got them all safely back to shore to my relieved mom. They didn’t have to utilise the RNLI that day, but both my parents really admired the bravery of the crews. Dads name was Eric!
