I think all parents have at least one of those scary moments where something terrible almost happens.

When my son was only a couple weeks old I was walking with him down the stairs in our apartment and I just completely lost my footing. My arms flew up and he went up into the air and there is nothing but hardwood below the stairs. My leg had given out under me and was basically bent under me when I fell. I somehow (based on pure reflex) managed to lunge into the air backwards and grab my son in mid-air and turn 180 degrees all in the same motion so I slammed back-first onto the hardwood and he hit nothing but my chest.

My wife was in a state of hysteria by the time we landed and then I looked at my son and he was just staring at me calm as could be, without a scratch on him. Meanwhile I am as freaked out as I have ever been in my life. After that we instituted a rule that no one would carry him down the stairs without putting him in his carrier. Of course, a couple days later my wife was carrying him downstairs in the carrier and did the exact same thing, falling and busting her tailbone, but again my son was ok.

Nothing prepares you for those moments.

It disgusts me that people in the comment section of the chronicle are calling for charges to be brought against the father. Is losing your 5 year old daughter and having to live with a lifetime of guilt not enough? Good grief.

Never read the comments. . . .. . nothing good is ever in there.
For good mental health it is best to not know those people exist
