on 8/11/06 I got the news that the coast gaurd had found my grandsons body in the delta waters theyy had been looking for him all night. This was at Bradford Island it was all over the news! I believe that if his mother had been watching him closer,had safty gates up, had not let him play alone down stairs in his bedroom by the front door where it was left open and he got out! I would still have my precious grandson here with me. I blame myself some because we were trying to get custody because we felt it was unsafe for him on this island and did'nt get the court papers fast enough. I cant work right now, I cant sleep very well and Im still crying every day! I thought things would get a little easier to deal with but it's not.I had to go to the hospital for chest pains & breathing trouble I was told it was anxiaty attact. I just dont know how to deal with this. KASEY I love and miss you so much!

So terribly unfortunate, such a young baby. I myself have a 2 year old, and a 17 month old, so I know how it's important to never let my eyes off of them. I'm so sorry for your lose. That is a terrible thing to experience, but you cannot blame yourself for this. You did what you could, and sadly time has a way about it that none of us can possibly control. I'm sure if you could control time you would go back and change what happened, that's what basically matters, you are a very loving Grandmother.

There's no way I can tell you to move on, accept it, and let go, because if this would have happened to my babies, I would never be able to let go! Don't let go, hold on to all the memories you have of your little grandson, and appreciate the times you did have with him.

Memories are sentimental, a living beyond existence. He will live on through memories. Be happy you've known him.

I'm so sorry, this aches my heart, i could never imagine the pain you must be experiencing. Don't blame yourself, and try not to be angry, instead try to understand. (((((((((((kellygirlis)))))))))))...it's going to be okay.

I'm very sorry for you Kelligirlis. My prayers are with you!

Treasure the moments you spent with him and he will stay alive with you forever! I know now it might not seem as a great consolation, but give it time!

'When you think of him don't be sad because you have lost a grandson but be happy because you have gained an angel!!'

He will be watching over you, ie treasure this thought!
