I just want you to know I tried my hardest baby girl. I promise. I swallowed so much water but I kept going I got you to someone who could swim i let them take over and went under thinking they had you. I only came back up for you. The current has me too but I remember not to panic to just hold my breath and tried to float. When they pulled me out the water and I didn’t see you I lost it. I should have went back in my body just gave out. I tried to move but couldn’t. I looked for you I screamed for you. I still hear you I’m so so sorry baby girl I’m so sorry“
