A beautiful family in my homeschool group lost their 2 year-old son in an accidental drowning yesterday. He was #11 of 12 children and the mom came home from an outing to find him in the backyard pool. Please hold them all in prayer, especially the sibling who was babysitting.
We are all just devastated. Our homeschool group saw the loss of a 17 yr old boy 2 summers ago (also a drowning), and then one of the moms in the group died of cancer in October, leaving 2 young boys. Just so much loss...
May Our Lady hold these friends close to her Immaculate Heart, covering them in her mantle of love.

 I am so sorry!
Praying for this family and for your homeschooling group.
I think this has got to be one of the greatest fears of families with pools. My parents are downright nervous when little grandchildren are outside in their backyard area. They ended up having a netted fence put in around the whole pool area.
I can't imagine the anguish of this family and the sibling who was babysitting.

Absolutely heartbreaking.
I'll keep this family in my prayers today, and especially the teen that was babysitting. What an immense Cross for that young person to carry. for all.
Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for them!
