Well..there must of been an angel with me and that little boy today at the pool. Hanna, Hayden and I were swimming and came up to a little boy who wasn't moving under the water. We all three weren't sure what to think but knew something wasn't right. So Hayden decided to go down and tap on him to see if he was ok. I just figured he was playing and seeing how long he could hold his breathe or something. Everyone else around kind of just ignored it as if nothing was wrong. Then Hanna asked this couple that was close by if he was their son and they said no. So about 45 sec to a minute passed and we headed toward the lifeguard on the other side. Hanna and Hayden started telling the lifeguard about the little boy. I sort of acknowledged it as well but kind of blew it off as nothing at the same time. A couple seconds passed and she got up very startled looking. At that time I looked at her and said, "Yeah, he's been under there for awhile." So she blew her whistle and ran over and jumped in after him. Wow. All I could think about as they pulled this life less little boy out of the water was why!? Why did I wait so long. Why didnt I just pull that baby out of the water myself when I first thought something was wrong. If I would have known he wasn't playing I would have grabbed him myself. I also was afraid a parent would get mad if the kid had infact just been playing. God thank you so much for being there with him and myself today. God Bless.
