Thank you, Daryl. Those were the words mother of two, Alesha Garcia, would say to her husband if she could see him one last time. Daryl Garcia, 43, drowned at a beach in Guayaguayare while saving his eight-year-old son last week Thursday.
The drowning was witnessed by the couple’s two children. Garcia, also 43, said her children were traumatised by the incident. But she was grateful that they were alive.

In a telephone interview with the Express, Garcia thanked her husband for the ultimate sacrifice. “Thank you, Daryl. Because of him I have my two children here with me today. I could have been burying all three of them. Daryl was not a good dad. He was a great, great dad. There are no words to describe how good he was. I want him to know that I know he sacrificed his life for our son. He wanted his son to live, to carry on his name. Thank you for that,” she said.

Garcia, a security guard, said her husband had dropped her to work at the Arima Health Centre at around 5.30am that day. He was on a week leave from work, she said. Garcia said her husband checked on his mother in Arima and then returned home to their children.(Trinidad Express)…[+]
