Hey all, I was wondering if some of you could say a prayer for Henry William Berlin and his family. This is such a horrible tragedy and the family is having a terrible time dealing with it.

Here is a link to the story:

What an awful accident. I will be praying for their whole family.
 
Oh my! That is sad!


OK, tangent time...
...I play softball every week and there is a mother there with her little terrors who try to pick up my bats and swing them. He almost hit my child in the head with one of mine. I politely asked for it back from the child and asked him to please go play away and not touch the bats. The mom wasn't happy with me and said, "let boys be boys".

Note this same mother was DISCIPLINING my daughter Monday night for telling a kid to stop hitting another kid without saying please and asking her nicely to stop! I don't have perfect kids (Beth saw them a little wound up, but they are VERY good and know when to say please!)

After this I am THANKFUL to have stopped the boy from swinging my bat before a freak accident like that happened. :cry:
 
I will certainly pray for them. My grandson is almost 2 and I can't imagine that happening. I sometimes wonder where parents' brains are when they just ignore dangerous situations.

My case was a parent not paying attention, in this tragedy, I'm sure the girl was just swinging a bat and the kid got too close without anyone realizing.

It was a horrible accident I'm sure!
 
Prayers for the family.....
 
I will be praying for this family - how sad.

We had a 22 month old die in our town last weekend. They were having a company picnic at the Grandparents house. He ended up drowning in the pool. Others were swimming at the time, but nobody saw him.

The family has a very strong faith. The father was quoted in the nespaper saying they will always be thankful to God for the time they had with him, but God must have another plan for him. I was amazed. I'm sorry to say I'm afraid my faith would not be so strong especially less then 24 hours later.

Again, my prayers are with this family.

That is what happened. I'm not sure if you saw in the article that it was his 4 year old sister swinging the bat. So, so sad.
 
How tragic. The family will be in my prayers.
