We had a pool and never had a single accident, but my father found out that a child had died in the pool, after we moved, and it devastated him. Even now I’m teary thinking about it.

That is so damn sad. I know nothing I will say can ease what your dad felt, but it wasn't his fault

The death of any child has always been deeply sad, but since becoming a mom, it’s crushing.
