Did you know? (FB Post)

-
Last Labor Day weekend, the kids and I stayed in Chattanooga for a night. They were thrilled about: the indoor pool, going to the grocery store to get ice cream pints to keep in our tiny mini freezer in the room, watching actual cable (not just Netflix), riding this luggage cart down the hallway to the pool. I didn’t even let Levi in the hallway without thinking ahead about water safety. Water safety was not something I ever took lightly.
Did you know, though, that 69% of drowning victims weren’t expected to be in the water (non swimming situations), yet were found in water?
Did you know that 77% of victims were out of sight for five minutes or less?
Did you know that nearly 80% of drowning victims are male?
I didn’t know, and I hate that I had to learn this the hard way, the worst way possible.
I’m so angry at the Universe. How have I read hundreds and hundreds of parenting magazines, books, and blogs and NEVER ONCE was I warned about drowning when not swimming. Drowning still happens if you are somewhere and your children have access to water, even if you are in a room full of people (including both parents), the pool is out a heavy door and down a flight of stairs. Seconds. Seconds. It takes seconds.

    Hello, my name is RITA CARMEN and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 12 years. i have been looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until my Doctors in Australia told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I resulted to try IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). For months after my IVF no progressed and my situation became worse that my husband had already had plans or getting married to another woman because I was barren. I read a testimony about Prophet Abulele how he had helped so many women with pregnancy problems and also how he usually casts return spells to bring back partner and make one fertile. Of all options tried, I gave Prophet Abulele a try. I am now a mother of a baby boy. For over 13 years of my marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact on someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster. Prophet Abulele's email is:- prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp is +2349022406159 once you contact him, he will help you fast.

    Omg I Finally Got Helped  !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman  and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out..  I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact  Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp +2347012841542

    Get your ex back from a real love spell caster with Priest Odunga at his email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com within 24 hours instantly.
        I am very happy to have contacted Priest Odunga who helped me get my ex husband back from another woman after 3 years of separation. I am very happy because I never believed in spell casting and contacting spell casters to solve my problem but after 3 years of separating from my husband being single, I had to contact Priest Odunga after I read about him online and how he has been helping people. I am very glad I did. My husband came back to me within 24 hours, begged me and the kids who needed their father back with them and I am very happy. I found this man through testimonies that he can solve pregnancy and love problems that is why I contacted him to help me and within 24 hours my husband came back home and we are living happily together. His email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and his WhatsApp number is+2348167159012

A broken-hearted mom's plea to the American Academy of Pediatrics

-
Image
This is a picture of all 3 of my children at their last well-child visits in April.  (Levi was definitely smothered with big-sister love). Dear American Academy of Pediatrics members,  I want to start by saying I love and respect my children’s pediatrician very much. My husband is an anesthesiologist, and I have many friends who are pediatricians. I believe in the medical community’s impact in both big and small ways.  As an English teacher, I depend on the National Council of Teachers of English, my state standards, and other national and state resources to help me prioritize what I teach. My husband is an anesthesiologist, and he depends on the American Society of Anesthesiologists to help guide him as a physician. Pediatricians across the country depend on the AAP to provide them with research-based guidelines and information to share with parents. Parents, in turn, depend on those pediatricians to guide them as they navigate parenting: from advising parents

Click Here:  Last Video taken of Levi These are the final pictures I have of my son. In every single one, he is wearing a puddle jumper or life jacket. Just hours before the tragedy, I was carrying him (“Mama, carry me, please! The sand is hot- it’s not hot for you, though, is it Mama?”) We walked past the pools, in a house where we have vacationed every June for 7 years. I asked him, again, for the hundredth time, at least: “Levi, do you ever get in the water without Mama? Ever?” He said immediately and seriousl y, as we have discussed numerous times: “Mama, no way. Then, you won’t get to see me again and we will be so sad.” It was so quick. The news keeps saying we were eating dinner, like I was just sitting, completely forgetting I had kids. It wasn’t even like that at all. It was so quick. How did he even get away from us? I had just given him half of a brownie into his bowl of Cheeto puffs. The other half of the brownie was still in my mouth wh

Grief (FB Post)

Grief. Here is how grief looks in my day, how it ebbs and flows and pierces and punches.  Waking up is painful. Thankfully, I dream of Levi- he is always in my subconscious, so when I wake up, I’m not startled that he isn’t here. But, the mornings are always difficult, because each day is one away from when I last saw him, carried him, ran my fingers through his hair and commented “how do you need a haircut, AGAIN, buddy?” The day promises (threatens?) to bring new adventures that he will never know. Mornings are hard.  Most of the day is spent, well, living. We have been blessed beyond measure to have so much family support and time with them. We did “normal” vacation things last week, like go out to eat and wash sand off of our feet, but they felt anything but normal. And, there has still been laundry and my girls fighting and one of them is always hungry. So, days are filled mostly with... just... life. But, the entire time, I’m hearing his commentary in my head
