I saw this on Facebook and read it. I honestly thought drowning was like in the movies, so it never made sense to me how they wouldn't grab onto something. Now I realize they can't. This is why nobody should be in the water alone, not even in a boat. My sister's best friend drowned recently and she's still devastated, and she feels responsible because she didn't know he was going canoeing. If she'd known, she would have helped him and he'd be able to graduate with her...
