This email came to me from my brother this afternoon. It was heartbreaking to read and I thought I should share it so people could pray for their friends who lost their son in this tragic accident. The link to the family's blog is below.
Dear Friends,
As some of you know, our family had the unfortunate experience of
being a part of a horrific event at Lake Jocassee last weekend. While
on a camping trip with 11 other families, a 3-yr old boy of one of
the families drowned when the sailboat he was in with his father
capsized. Although Joshua Dorchak was wearing a life vest, he became entangled in the rigging as the boat went down. Jim held onto his son as long as far down as he could but finally had to let Joshua go.
As of this morning they have not been able to find Joshua or the
boat. The reality is beginning to set in that they may never find
either. I have attached a couple of links for more info. Please keep
Jim, Lori and their other 4 children in your prayers - especially
Lori who is 3-months pregnant.
Also, as everyone heads out to the water this summer for sun and fun,
please be careful.
Thanks, Bill

Anna, love your images especially in the last few posts! You need to print and frame your work and show it at a gallery!! I bet you could put together a great body of work from all the pics you take around town.
Always look forward to seeing your images. Thanks for sharing.
So very sad. My heart aches for the family and especially the Dad. All the horrible emotions that must flood his thoughts. I will join the others with prayer for all concerned.
This is so very sad, I will add my thoughts and prayers for the family and all their loved ones.

Oh how heartbreaking. I'm so terribly sorry for this poor family.
There was a time when this news would have merely saddened me. Now that I have a daughter of my own...I cannot imagine the grief...it literally makes my heart ache for this family.
Thats terrible.

My thoughts go out to that family.
How heartbreaking.
