Dear Caiden, Firstly, I would like to start by telling you that your Auntie loves you so very much and nothing in this world would ever, ever change that. The day you were born was one of the happiest days in my life, and when I held you in my arms it was then I learned what real love is. Although we are not related by blood, I have always felt and saw you as one of my own. These past 4 years have been filled with hope and sunshine because you were here in this world. Your mommy, daddy, Uncle Mario, and myself, we became better people all because of you. I also want you to know that I am not angry, and do not blame anybody for what happened. Your daddy and the paramedics did everything they could to save you, and did their best. Don't you worry though, I promise that I will look after your sister and teach her what an amazing little boy her big brother is. I promise that I will never let anything happen to her; and that I will become an Auntie that you can be very proud of. My heart is breaking at the thought of never seeing you again; and don't worry about your mommy and daddy. We love each other, and will take care of one another. No more pain where you are now, my baby boy, my special little guy. Auntie will always love you, and I promise to be good from now on so that I can one day see you again. Love, Heather |

I am so profoundly saddened for you. Your family will be in my prayers. I know you are reeling right now, it is so much to struggle through to lose anyone, but the passing of a young person always is extra tragic. If you have more to get off your chest you know we'll be here to help in what ways we can. Would you be okay with sharing what happened? Edited by Necropenguin, Jun 17 2015, 09:00 PM.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Sanzo. And ditto Orochi, it was really saddening, but at the same time sweet and something clearly from the heart. |

My godson, Caiden was at his grandma's house. It was his baby sister's 1st birthday, and grandma had a pool in her backyard. Caiden loved the water, but he didn't know how to swim, so he always had daddy supervise him. In fact he was already swimming with his daddy, with pool floaties too, and his daddy decided that was enough for now since Caiden was getting cold. Mario, the godfather, was going through some tough and personal issues and needed someone to talk to. Being BFFs since highschool, Dan agreed to hear Mario out. Caiden kept telling Dan [the dad] that he wanted to go back into the pool. Dan told Caiden that he needed to take care of something first, and that they can go back to the pool later. Caiden insisted at least 3 more times, and each time Dan said not now, and promised later after he and uncle finished talking. Since there were at least 6 more children around, Dan and Mario packed up Caiden, put him in the house and told him to play. I don't know how it happened, but he somehow slipped out without anybody noticing. Nobody knows how long he was in there, but Mario just so happened to look over in that direction, and saw Caiden face down in the water. He immediately ran to the pool and pulled him out to do CPR, both he and Dan did. But by then he was already blue. He was pronounced dead at the hospital. Two days before the birthday party, his mom asked if I'd be able to go. I told her I couldn't because of a previous engagement, but I promised I'd see the kids a week later. Now my baby boy is gone, and won't see him ever again. What kills me is that when the baby grows up, she's realize, "Oh my god, my big brother died on my birthday." Dan is a Marine combat Veteran, and did his damndest to save him. He didn't stop doing CPR until the paramedics came. I know it doesn't mean anything to him, but I am so proud of him. Right now there's a lot of anger in the family. The grandfather wants to press criminal charges against Dan, and claims he was negligent and not taking responsibility for his children. He wants to press criminal charges against Mario and blames him because if he didn't "take Dan's attention away", Caiden would still be alive.

What a horrible loss. I'm so sorry for you and Caiden's parents, and though I'm not much of a praying man, you and yours will definitely be in them from now on. It's understandable that after such a tragedy, emotions are running high and it makes you feel better if you can assign blame to someone else because it means you can put a face on your pain. But I sincerely hope everyone calms down and gets their cool heads back before misdirected anger damages that family. |

Grandpa needs to cool his tits. As stressful and heart-rending as something like this is on a family, to have somebody making empty threats like this is absolutely worthless and extremely damaging, especially considering how toothless and pathetically flailing it is. Grandpa very likely is not the district attorney, thus his rights to seek criminal "justice" in the matter are very limited, especially considering one of the people he has a hate-on for IS one of the child's parent. All he can do is harrass the district attorney's office, and no sane fucking district attorney in the world would put their neck on the line to make this into a criminal case if the story you presented is what the police investigation determine to have factually happened; it would never even be shopped to a grand jury. It would be career suicide for one to try. Secondly, since he is not even the decedent's legal parental guardian he doesn't have much standing to file civil suits against other family members, especially since one of them is the parent. I mean, you can file a civil suit for damn near anything, but I wouldn't want to be a fly on the wall of that court when the judge hears that case, because I can't see this going anywhere but a dismissal at best, and at worst a scathing ass-chewing the likes of which a law-abiding citizen will fortunately never witness with potential for words like 'barratry' and 'malicious abuse of process' and 'vexatious' to be used. tl;dr: gramps needs to shut the fuck up I'd be most worried about "Mario." I mean if he's already going through a bad spot in life, and now he feels like people are blaming him for a child dying, and are making all sorts of stupid threats, it's not a far stretch that somebody in that position could quickly become suicidal. |

I did see Mario today. Since we are both the godparents of Caiden, he broke down when he saw me. In-between his sons he kept saying he was sorry and asked if iI hate him for "killing our baby". He knows I never could and don't blame him. He has not slept in 2 days because whenever he closes his eyes he sees our boy's lifeless face |

I am so sorry about everything that has happened, and I hope Mario can keep it together, its not his fault and its not Dan's fault. Like Homeless said, Grandpa needs to calm down. Though, it is hard to be objective in a situation like this. |

That sounds like an awful situation, I'm so sorry for what happened. Hopefully once the grandfather calms down and stops harassing a grieving family you'll all be able to take the time you need to grieve. |

Caiden's parents are doing better, and have managed to go back to their home. They are not ready to go into his old room to go through his things yet, but they know they have to eventually. Right now they're just taking things a day at a time. Mario tries to distract himself by being busy, Caiden's dad has been trucking along, and Caiden's mom has turned off her phone and computer. She's not been in the mood to want to talk to anybody at the moment. Their 1-year-old actually did say her first word the other day. The parents had actually put Caiden's pictures away. I suppose the baby noticed and actually said "Caiden". I tried my best to not cry when I found out. Edited by SanzoGenjo_NightingalePriestess, Jun 28 2015, 05:02 PM.
