Today, while at a funeral for a teenager in my community, I heard some rumors.
Turns out a small child in our community drowned in a swimming pool last night. I do not know the details but I am sure that my friends who owned the pool are devastated. The children who saw their friend die will never be innocent again. What the parents are feeling I cannot imagine.
It is not the first drowning death I have heard of. But it hits home. I have hosted pool parties at my parent's home. Some of the guests were young and while hosting I could not possibly play life guard. I assumed the parents were minding their own kid.
It only takes a few moments for tragedy to happen. It cannot be undone. Please if there are children in a pool make sure at least one adult is in charge of the pool. Today I am saddened about the call for the funeral that will come later today or tomorrow. For the second tragedy this week where we will bury a child.
