Stories of Lost Children
Brady, My Sweet Baby Boy
by Tammy , Waverly, TN, U.S.A.
My son, Brady, drowned in our pool on September 6, 2004. He had eaten lunch with his sisters and then I put him down for a nap. His sisters had gone out to the pool to swim. I had gone to check on several times while he napped. He had been asleep for about 2 hours so I went upstairs to wake him. He wasn't in his crib. I thought he was in my room getting into something which he did a lot. I called his name and heard nothing. I came into our den and noticed the back door was opened. My heart stopped. I ran out the back door and found my sweet baby boy in the pool. I jumped in, carried him into the house and called 911. I gave him CPR until the police and paramedics arrived. They took him immediately to the hospital. I went with them. I prayed to God not to take my baby. I don't know how much time had passed and the doctor who, was the coldest most uncaring person I'd ever met, said "sometimes these things happen". My baby died....How could this happen? I still feel like this is a bad nightmare and I hope to wake up soon. I feel like I failed my baby. I am afraid I cant be a good mom to my other children. I can't leave my house and I'm having terrible panic attacks. How do I go on? I want to hold him so badly. This pain is unbearable and I feel like I'm completely losing my mind. Can anyone out there help me? Email "TNLADY21@aol.com"
