Granger Smith and Amber Smith’s 8-month-old son, Maverick, is learning to swim.
“Spread the word,” the “Backroad Song” singer concluded the caption. “River’s life mattered. He’s saving thousands of others. Hear me.”
In a post of her own, Amber wrote that when Maverick is in the water, he now knows how to “turn, rotate, find the air, breathe and cry.” The actress added that while seeing Maverick cry during his lessons can be “scary,” it’s “even scarier and more painful to [lose] a child to fatal drowning.” Amber “trusted the process,” writing, “I watched as it worked every step of the way! We made the decision to give Maverick the skills he needed to find the air, the skills River needed that we didn’t know about, and my goodness, he did it!! And he wasn’t afraid of our instructor, or the water and he smiled the biggest smiles after, so I could do hard things for 10 minutes to give our son the skills he needs.
She and her husband, who are also the parents of daughter London, 10, and son Lincoln, 8, have been open about water safety since River’s passing — although Amber is “nervous” near water.
