Hug them a little tighter

Friends of ours lost their 2 year old today. He drowned in their backyard pool. It has consumed my mind this afternoon and all I want to do it hug and kiss on my kids. It could so easily happen to anyone- drowning is the number one most preventable accident but one minute in lack of supervision and it can happen to any of us! I don't know if it is my history as a pediatric nurse that makes me so freaked out about this. I remember everyone of my near-drownings- I can tell you the room number and what they looked like- it is forever ingrained in my head. It breaks my heart that this family didn't get to say goodbye to him and they thought they had safety barriers in place. Please keep this family in your prayers tonight and enjoy EVERY moment with your kids. Life is so precious and not to be taken for granted.
