Every year on August 12th, the Richardsons have a pool party to remember the day that baby Josiah drowned in a swimming pool on that date in 1999. Miraculously, Josiah recovered and is doing fine all these years later! Now, August 12th marks miracle day. 🙂
Paul Richardson, my friend and Josiah’s father tells the story in his book A Certain Risk: Living Your Faith at the Edge and in the interview we had this past spring. LISTEN HERE!
I love how the Richardsons turn what was almost a tragedy into a day to remember. Rather than avoiding swimming pools the rest of their lives (or their kids lives), they jump right back in!
