And everyone has their own beliefs, but anything in the realm of he's in a better place or this is just what was supposed to happen because it wasn't.

It was preventable.

It wasn't supposed to happen.

The best place he could be is here with his family, with his little brother growing up.

That's the best place he could be.

I think that's always hurtful and people kind of use it as a band-aid of like, he's in a better place, it's okay.

No, he's not.

This is a child that had an entire life ahead of him, so many memories, so many things that he was looking forward to, we were looking forward to, he didn't get to experience yet.

So saying that to any parent who's gone through child loss, at least in my experience, is just very hurtful and unhelpful.

That's the last thing a grieving parent wants to hear.

All you want to hear when you lose your child is, I'm so sorry, and he deserves to be here, or they deserve to be here, and I wish you weren't having to go through this, and I wish he hadn't had to go through this.

That's the only things that they don't help, but they make you feel loved and comforted.

the main thing I hope people can take away from what Trigg went through and what our family went through is just once again that it's preventable to please if you have a pool and you have a young child get a pool fence I know there's other options I was there I chose Annette I regret it

having as many barriers to entry is what's important.

So that's swim lessons.

That's ISR lessons.

I have Teddy starting ISR as soon as he possibly can.

What is ISR, sorry for... It's swim training for young children so that they can learn survival techniques, whether that's floating on their back if they're too young to be able to swim.

They usually teach them it fully closed so that they, if they're in any situation, they can figure it out.

And it just gives them the resources that there's time, there's more time for someone to come find them.
