In our PR one of our mom's lost her son Thursday due to a drowning accident. He was 5 days short of his 2nd birthday. I cna't stop cry fo rthis family. My hreat just breaks for them. It has made me think about how precious life is and that I'm so grateful to have my kids with me each day I wake up.

Her's the article if you would like to know. (*Warning you Will cry if you read it*)

A nearly 2-year-old boy was pronounced dead after being pulled unresponsive from a family swimming pool. | Gainesville.com

"The Lord compensates the faithful for every loss. That which is taken away from those who love the Lord will be added unto them in His own way. While it may not come at the time we desire, the faithful will know that every tear today will eventually be returned a hundredfold with tears of rejoicing and gratitude..... These experiences, while often difficult to bear at the time, are percisely the kinds of experiences that stretch our understanding, build our character and increase our compassion for others."

I read all about this. It is tragic and I feel for the family. It really does make you appreciate life.

I read about it too. That is so incredibly sad. When my in-laws moved to Ireland they wanted us to buy their house from them. They had an in-ground pool in the backyard. I really didn't want to have a pool (for various reasons we didn't buy their house, and the pool was a biggie).

I had heard he had died however I did not know it was a pool. It has made me be extra vigilent about my bathtub. i am terrible about pulling out the baby and forgetting the bath water.
