See my beautiful sister-in-law (Jessica) behind us in the hot tub? She saved his life. And, in turn, saved mine too.After we took the above picture I moved just inches closer to the camera while Jason continued taking pictures of Tienna's first time in a pool.
About a second later I heard Jessica call my name in a panicked tone. I whipped around to see Corbin's head bobbing just under the water. Like he was bouncing on his toes trying to get his head above the water. But he couldn't. Before I could even...gasp...Jess had leaped from the hot tub and into the pool, scooping him up. Superman couldn't have been faster.
The memory of it is so clear in my head. So crisp. I remember every single detail of those 5 seconds.
I think his little life flashed before my eyes.
What if Jess was too busy watching her own kids and didn't see Corbin out of the corner of her eye? What if no one noticed? Until it was too late? He was silent. I didn't hear splashing, no squeal, nothing. He was just inches from me.
I can't imagine.
I love this little boy with every bit of me.

Holy cow Cari! This post made me bawl!!! So grateful your sister was paying attention, and SO grateful he was being watched over from above! I can imagine the horror you've felt. Been there with one of mine. It just makes you want to hold them and never let go! So glad he's okay.
Oh, my stars! I'm so glad Corbin's angel was watching out for him. Those things can happen so very fast. Bless you all.
