I Shot twords the back door. there was no other way to the pool. But it..it was locked. I Could See her..Thrashing.. calling for me everytime she surfaced. i was trying to smash the glass.To get to her.i tried..so hard.i could see her waveing arms and kicking legs slowing.fianlly i just grabbed a chair and smashed the glass in. i jumped straight into the pool and dragged her out..But i was too late. I Tried CPR.but em was gone.I Looked over the Security Cams a week after and it all made sense. Em fell in reaching for the Beachball,In the middle of the pool.. Its all my falt... if i had gotton there sooner.. maby..Or-or if i hadent installed that stupid Lock...If i had just delt with the vandlizers...if- if i had been just a bit faster...Em would...she would be..

That's an awful tragedy. Just remember the good parts of life that she brought for you. Try not to focus on the tragic ending to her life. You did everything you could to try to save her.

This story sounds simular to an episode I watched of Ghost Whisperer. The little girl drowned in the pool and she was also called Emily and 6 years old. She tried to reach for the ball in the pool too and fell in but the Mum locked herself up in her room crying over her divorce so it was up to the brother to save her. I cried a lot at that episode.
It's always sad to lose a child to death, kidnap or missing. I can't imagine the pain your feeling, I may not have children of my own but I hope no-one will ever have to suffer the loss of a child. It's always upsetting when a child gets taken away too soon :( I'm sure she's looking down at you and watching and asking you not to cry... she's in a better place where nothing can hurt little sweet Emily <3 take care of yourself xx
