My prayers are with this family, I cant imagine what you are going through :(( Now to everybody that thought that it was appropriate to try and make these parents feel worse than they already do it is none of your business this site was not created for you to punish people that are going through rough times, they will punish themselves enough without your help. Now if you are posting comments and don't have children of your own, who are you to pass judgment on things that you do not understand, to those of you leaving nasty comments and DO have children, if you for one second try and make us believe that you have never been preoccupied for even a second, and that during this time your child went into a different room of the house, or maybe got into something and could have possibly hurt themselves you are lying, it has happened to all of us only difference is that we got lucky, or perhaps had other responsible adults around us to help watch and intervene if necessary I have twin 18 month old daughters and keeping track of quick curious little toddlers is HARD! now this might be out of line but ill say it anyways who ever was the host of this party next time you have children over on a holiday that probably involves drinking, take the pool latter away! To these poor parents don't blame yourself as I said before it is not your fault, tragedies happened sometimes and driving yourself crazy asking yourself why it happened to you is only going to drive you crazy there are some things in this world that are just too terrible to come up with an explanation. The pain will never go away, but it will start to become easier eventually treasure all the good times you had with your angel and thank god for them my prayers are with you!
