1. That person is gone now.
And the life, itself, it just doesn't matter that much anymore...it's all about the kids. I would give their lives to PassingFair to protect, if I were not around. In fact, I suggest all DUers give their lives to PassingFair to protect. She's not really doing anything and she is the greatest.

4. I tend to keep most people 'out', but those few who manage to get past my defenses and become a part
of my life pretty much immediately fall into that category.

9. I've grown to be like that but I do love people... just don't trust all of them.
But family is a totally different story.

I don't like all my relatives but I'd save them, if I had to!

:hug:

14. My kids, my grandkids, my husband...I'd have a hard time not
defending any child, I think...but I know I'd defend mine to the death.

15. No thought - my daughter
My life means nothing compared to hers. I'd give it happily. I truly can't bear the thought of anything happening to her.

Khash.

16. Any of my close friends.
Including a group of people here.

Though, hopefully none of us will ever be in a situation where it's necessary to make that choice. :(

18. Depending on the reason it could be anywhere from one person to all of them.

24. No thought required: anyone, I hope.
Honestly, I HOPE. I don't know if I could.

Definitely: my beloved, my sisters, their kids, my BIL. I was going to say my dad but he died five months ago.

26. Certainly my son but
I can honestly say I "feel" as though faced with the imminent danger of someone else I'd risk my life to help. I put feel in quotes because I can't really say if I would have that depth of courage and conviction when faced with the reality.

29. My husband, my mom, and my unborn baby.
Yep, those 3. Even though I love all of my family and friends, these are the most important in my life. Life wouldn't be nowhere near the same without them.
