I’m close to this particular cousin and witnessed firsthand the heartache and grief she and his family experienced. It was a horrible time for all of us and one that I’ll never forget. I felt helpless in that there was nothing I could say or do to make her feel better. I had never experienced the death of a young child and it haunts me to this day. If anything positive could have come from this event, it’s that it was the catalyst for me to want to be a lifeguard. Even though I wasn’t there when it happened, I felt I could somehow contribute to saving someone else who was drowning. I wanted to be part of the solution and never wanted to see someone close to me suffer the way my cousin
