he had been underwater

He was under something much worse than water. My God.

“Oftentimes I would see these two, walking and talking as if there were nothing else in the world. I noticed his face was lit up each time his son was rattling about his thoughts. He loved his son dearly.”

Amazing selfless act, a father’s love for his perfect son. Screen going blurry.

“God Bless this man and his family!”

God just set another place at His table.

66-year-old Thomas VanderWoude and his 20-year-old son Joseph, who has Down syndrome and who is the youngest of seven sons, were working in their yard in Nokesville, VA when Joseph fell through a septic tank cover that had suddenly collapsed. VanderWoude immediately jumped in after his son and managed to hold his son's head above the surface, saving his life.

Prayers for the whole VanderWoude family, particularly for Joseph's full recovery and also for the repose of Thomas's soul. May God grant every father the grace to love each of his children like Thomas VanderWoude so clearly loved his son Joseph.

How incredibly sad. Prayers go out for their family.

I was just reading another story about a man and his 12 year old son who also has Downs Syndrome. They were swept out to sea, and even though they were separated, they both miraculously survived, after spending 12 hours in the ocean. They had to tread water for all that time because they didn't have on life vests. They were also stung by jellyfish.
