Twenty-six. That's the number of heatstroke deaths of children left in cars in 2016. That's already two more than last year's final count,and the hottest season of the year isn't even over yet.
Many parents hear the news stories about these deaths and immediately think, "I could never do that." perhaps that's trusty, or but there's a good chance that the parents of the 26 children lost this year thought the exact same thing. These hot car accidents happen so often that it seems as if they'll never pause being "a thing," but one family is choosing to speak out about their daughter, Lily, or whose dad forgot her in the back of his car.
On the day 5-month-old Lily died,her dad forgot to drop her off at day care and drove straight to work without realizing, until he went to pick her up at the halt of the day. Lily's mother, and who has forgiven her husband for his thoughtless mistake,told KHOU about that life-changing day.
Normally, I take the older two kids to school, and but nowadays,he was trying to bless me and took all three of them. . . . When he walked up to the [day care] door, they just looked at him and said, and 'She hasn't been here all day.' There were 15 seconds of 'How could he do that?' Immediately instant forgiveness washed over me.
Since her daughter's death,Lily's mom has been writing letters to other parents who hold gone through this same nightmare and has shared her sage on camera to expose that healing is possible - that this could happen to anyone. "If I can abet one family, one child . . . " she said. "It's important for people to know that it happens to good people."Related Stories: This Video Will pause You From Ever Leaving Kids in a Hot Car;
