    Absolutely. Im a natural coward so when a big dog came bounding towards me and my stepson I had to fight my natural urge to use him as a human shield and force myself to step in front of him, but my biological daughter i would definitely sacrifice myself for no questions.

    The hard part is trying really hard in day to day life to pretend theres no difference there. I wish there wasnt a difference there, because its not fair, but there is.

    Taking a bullet is much easier than many challenges parents have to face, take on, bear or navigate for their children. A bullet, presumably, would be fast to suffer and/or die from.
