Obviously, that's best case scenario.

That's the whole point of any sort of prevention or barriers or anything.

I mean, I'm specifically talking about pool safety, but that's not the only thing that can hurt children, that can affect them.

that's actually a tool that you can use in your favor is knowing and being honest with yourself, honestly, of there is no possible way for me to always have my eye on them.

And I know people might take that and be like, no, I have my eye on my child 100% of the time.

I don't know.

You might think you do, but there's always lapses in judgment.

There's always things that distract us in life.

There's always things that can happen.

And that's the biggest lesson is

Even if you think it will never happen to you, it can happen to you.

It can.

None of us are special.

None of us can control little tiny choices and things that can make up the whole picture.

It's hard when parenting.

I did feel that, and I do feel that still, of...

I never want to take my eye off of him.

And I will do my best, everything in my power, to make sure I am always...

there when he needs me.

But as a parent, you just can't.
