Why didn't someone jump in and swim out to him when they noticed he was having trouble? By the time someone goes under it is too late. Bless the young man and his family. If you are ever in the same situation get on your back and float or lightly tread water.

There were other teens and 3 were in the water with him as another jumped in with clotes on to help. This was tragic, but we should be thankful we did not have others to add to the list of fatalities. God be with PS's family. I know it is hard on all of his family members, classmates, friends, former ballteam members and teachers. He was a wonderful and delightful young man. He just had a birthday, and went to Heaven so young.

My heart goes out to the family and to the 3 teens that tried desperately to help save him. My thoughts and prayers all with all of them. We know one of the teens that tried to save him and my heart breaks for everyone involved. They are all so young to have to face such a horrible accident. I will pray for you all.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Cancer

Buoyed with confidence, you embrace the moment even as you throw yourself into the uncertain future. You aren't sure what's going to come next - and no one else is, either - but the influence of the Moon ensures that you're ready for just about anything. What may seem like completely spontaneous decisions are actually coming from knowledge deep within you. If you have a plan in mind to get you what you want, this is the time to implement it. Business and romantic rivals can't compete with you at the moment.
