I had a similar story but I didn't see it happen, a dear friend did and pulled my 16 month old out of a baby pool in our back yard. I've thanked God so many times for her being right there and seeing my baby fall over the edge. She is also the friend that sent me the Utube video that started this adoption process. I really need to be calling and thanking her this Mother's Day now that I think about it. <BR/>Thanks again, <BR/>Kristi Johnson<BR/>www.weloveourlucy.blogspot.comKristi Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14639293095200720758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208240036939788595.post-43143522855452865242008-05-11T23:46:00.000-04:002008-05-11T23:46:00.000-04:00Oh Gwen.
