I am SO sorry that you had to go through this. However, because you have shared this, you have probably prompted more people than you can imagine to sign their kids up for swimming lessons, learn CPR, and be extra vigilant (which I am sure you were as well). You and Jayce are saving lives with your story. Much love to you and your family. I just wanted you to know that this story is making it’s way around the internet.

But the truth is that we cannot always be 100% vigilant and perfect and there are forces beyond our control. I am amazed you can be so coherent, let alone so articulate but I thank you for that. My children are enrolled in swim lessons that emphasize safety and I know CPR. The actions you urged will save lives. You are truly blessed and thank you for sharing your gift with the world and helping so many other families.
