Country singer Granger Smith and his wife Amber Bartlett's son, River, died at three years old in a drowning accident at their home. The parents shared more details about the tragedy, and how they are moving forward as a family.
“It was actually a night just like this, and I was outside playing with London we were doing gymnastics in the yard, and the boys were playing water gun fight, and I remember thinking I was looking at London as she was doing gymnastics and I thought, soak up this moment,” he recalled. “I just had to stop, [and] soak up this moment because it’s not going to last forever.”
Shortly after, disaster struck. “Somewhere between 30 seconds and three minutes, we don’t know, Amber and I are inside our pool gate doing CPR on our son,” he said. Despite the doctor’s efforts, the Smiths later “made the decision to say our last goodbyes and donate his organs so that other children will be given a second chance at life,” according to their previous statements.
In the clip, Granger further explains how he plans to continue on. “We believe that God gave us River for three years and that was his mission and I don’t believe God takes anyone too soon,” he said. “I’m not going to play around in my mind that there’s this fictitious timeline of River graduating from college or high school or playing football because I believe he was put on this earth for that exact amount of time.
