Wat vir \u2019n ouma en haar kleinkinders \u2019n daguitstappie vol genot by \u2019n plaaslike landgoed sou wees, het in \u2019n nagmerrie ontaard toe die jongste uit die kroos die slagoffer van \u2019n waterdood geword het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Somerset-Wes-polisie het \u2019n geregtelike doodsondersoek geopen nadat die tweejarige seuntjie die afgelope naweek op \u2019n Sir Lowry\u2019s Pass-landgoed verdrink het. Die peuter, Maxwell Jnr. \u201cMJ\u201d Williams van Strand, het Saterdag (25 November) sy engelvlerkies gekry toe hy blykbaar in \u2019n swembad op die perseel beland het. Hoewel \u2019n polisieverklaring aandui dat die kleintjie glo langs die swembad gesit het toe hy ingeval het, vertel sy bedroefde ouers, Julene (37) en Maxwell (36), dat hy glo agter \u2019n bal aangehardloop het toe hy weggewyk het van \u2019n groter groep familielede en, sonder dat enigiemand agterkom, hom na bewering in \u2019n afgesonderde gebied bevind het, waar hy vermoedelik in die swembad geval het. S\u00f3 is die paartjie meegedeel nadat hulle voor 11:00 di\u00e9 noodlottige oggend met \u2019n oproep na die toneel ontbied is. \u201cEk is gebel en ingelig dat MJ in die swembad geval het en dat ek moet sorg dat ek daar uitkom. Ek het my vrou gebel, van die werk af gery om haar by die huis te gaan haal, en ons is reguit soontoe. Toe ons by die toneel aankom, het sy lewelose liggaampie langs die swembad gel\u00ea,\u201d verduidelik Maxwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens die egpaar was hulle nie teenwoordig toe die noodlot tref nie. Julene, wat as \u2019n verpleegster werk, het daardie oggend van nagskof gekom. Maxwell het sy 56-jarige skoonma en kinders omstreeks 08:00 by die landgoed gaan aflaai voordat hy gaan werk het. Hul middelste seun (12) het slegs \u2019n paar uur daarna glo op sy broertjie, waar hy in die swembad gel\u00ea het, afgekom. Die egpaar het Maandagoggend hul geliefde seuntjie se lyk gaan uitken. Berading word vir die gesin gere\u00ebl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel hulle \u2019n hartverskeurende werklikheid in die o\u00eb staar, s\u00ea die ouers hulle blameer niemand vir die tragiese verlies van hul kosbare seuntjie nie. Hulle doen egter \u2019n beroep op ander ouers om voorkeur aan hul kinders se veiligheid te gee \u2013 veral met die warm somerweer wat uitstappies na swembaddens en strande aanspoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis moeilik om die verlies, wat so onwerklik voel, te verwerk. Ek hoop steeds dat hy \u2019n verskyning sal maak,\u201d s\u00ea die hartseer ma van drie seuns terwyl sy teen die trane veg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Woordvoerder van die landgoed het innige meegevoel met die bedroefde familie betuig. \u201cOns verstaan ??dat die verlies van \u2019n kind een van die seerste ervarings is waardeur \u2019n ouer kan gaan, en ons is opreg jammer vir jul pyn en lyding. Aanvaar asseblief ons innige simpatie. Ons wens julle vrede, vertroosting, moed en baie liefde toe in hierdie tyd van hartseer. Ons harte gaan uit na julle in hierdie moeilike tyd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vir die Williams-gesin laat die verlies van MJ \u2019n groot leemte, want \u201cnes sy stem ewig stilgeword het, het ons huis ook stil geword\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMJ was \u2019n liefdevolle kind wat vreugde in ons huis gebring het,\u201d s\u00ea Julene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het uitgesien na sy skoolkonsert op 15 Desember en hom in sy Krismis-klere te sien pronk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maxwell voer aan dat MJ in die twee kort jaar wat hy aan hulle geskenk is werklik voluit gelewe het. Die klein se\u00ebning het onuitwisbare spore in die hart van ander getrap, \u2019n groot impak gemaak by Bright Minds-kleuterskool, waar hy \u2019n gelukkige toevoeging was en familiebande met sy Godgegewe unieke wese en volmaaktheid help herstel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Begrafnisdiens word vir Saterdag gere\u00ebl. \u2019n Diens by kerslig word Donderdagaand (30 November) buite Storkstraat 24 gehou. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
