My tribute to KacperDear kacper, although I never met you, I was at the beach the time you were swept away, after a kind gentleman alerted everyone and asked for help although I'm disabled, I ran to the sea and jumped in to try and find you unfortunately I couldn't get to you as you were too far and I nearly got pulled under too. My heart is breaking for your family and I'm sorry I couldn't save you. May you fly high and be happy wherever u may be. R.i.p beautiful boy. Xxx
