Prayers for the family.
Amazing little 4-year-old.
Incredible story.
It’s stories like this where it’s easy to spot God’s hand at work, I don’t know why he does what he does, but he wanted these girls spared.
I have kids in that age range too, it scares me to death to think of them on their own in the outdoors without me to protect them.
Tragic for them to lose their mother, and prayers for the remaining family.
I wonder what the toxicology report showed.
Yes, definitely the Hand of God.
Two of my grandsons are these ages.
