Granger Smith opened up about the moment his and his family's lives were changed forever when he lost his 3-year-old son in a drowning accident.
's memory with an emotional tribute video.Lincoln Smith"It was actually a night just like this and I was outside playing with London," Granger recalled."We were doing gymnastics in the yard and the boys were playing a water gun fight. I remember thinking, I was looking at London, as she was doing gymnastics and I thought, 'Soak up this moment because it's not going to last forever.
Granger then explained,"I think the platform that we immediately stand for is love those close to you, soak up those moments, live for today, live in the present because we're not guaranteed tomorrow. What happened to us that night defied all possibilities. We believe that God gave us River for three years and that was his mission. I don't believe that God takes anyone too soon.
"We are stronger than ever right now. We've gotten so close and we are going to constantly search for the meaning behind all of this... We will find the meaning and the good in this and to spread this message and his legacy. He'll always be with me and he'll always be in our hearts," Granger said.
