A Tragedy

A family on vacation At a Disney World hotel Had their holiday cut short As paradise turned into hell. Their 2 year old dragged under By a croc in a lagoon And his little life was ended Way too sadly and too soon. Seems the signs of warning posted Weren’t strong enough to heed. Guess today there isn’t any place Where safety’s guaranteed.

So true Ilene. I was in tears hearing this story on the news. This is a lovely tribute to his little soul. Thank God they found his body whole.

This is indeed a tragedy! I wrote about this also. I can't imagine what those poor parents are going through.

It is so sad Ilene. Unimaginable as a parent.

I haven't heard this. I can't imagine. I just can't imagine. How terribly, terribly awful.
