Drowning at POP Centrury

[princessgirls]

So so sad.

My heart is breaking for the family. CNN reported that the boy was pulled out of the pool after the lifeguards have gone for the night. A firefighter from Buffalo pulled him out and started CPR.

You can never be too careful. I will pray for the family.

RIP young man. May the family find peace sooner than later. Tragic.
Hug your kids when you go home tonite and every other night. Tell them you love them over and over again. Let them know how important they are to you. Talk to them, don't just be around them. Interact with them. Never find yourself in a situation that you have to look back and say to yourself, "If I had only done.......... when i had the chance".

People ask why I go to Disney every year. Its because I want my kids to know that no matter what happens, today/ tomorrow/ next week/ 40 years from now, they are and will always be my everything. They will never doubt this nor will they ever say that I wish I could have done this with my daddy when i had the chance. We live in the now. We regret the unknown and the uncertain and all things out of our control.

My heart breaks at the thought of this family never being able to tell their boy how much he is loved, face to face.

Having read this tragic story, i am sitting at my desk with a pit in my stomach. Like this family, mine is from Missouri. My youngest son just turned 14. And my wife and i were in Disney World last weekend. So to say this hits close to home is a gross understatement.

Such a tragedy is nearly beyond my comprehension. And although i feel ill just thinking about it, i cannot fathom the depths of grief this poor family must endure.

May God's grace give them strength.

There is an interview with the Buffalo Fire Fighter on our local news station [link removed] that worked CPR on this child while on vacation with his family.

My brother in law and niece were swimming that evening in that pool. They saw a boy doing cannonballs and my niece was told that he really shouldn't be doing that.

They left the pool and shortly after saw the ambulance but didn't know what happened until they were asked if they had heard about it, but brother-in-law is pretty sure it had to be the same boy.

Thank you to all the people there that night who tried so desperately to help this young teen. Our prayers are with all of you as well. This will no doubt forever be in your memories. Thank you again for all your efforts.

NJDad, it's just one of those things we have all probably walked away from saying "they shouldn't be doing that" and sometimes you wonder why the parents (and I am in NO way blaming ANYONE) don't say to stop doing whatever it is kids do. They were enjoying a fun night in the pool. Something they couldn't do in Missouri at this time of year. Something we see all the time in Disney pools people enjoying the late night dip in the pool after a long day in the parks.

It's just sad to think this happend my heart is breaking as well for this family.

My heart hurts for this family and the boy.

Yeah, that is just tragic. Prayers are what's needed most at this point. I hope the family can see God's grace through this difficult moment.
