What was supposed to be a Hawaiian dream vacation for Becca and Stanley Martin and their nine children turned into a nightmare a parent never wants to dream about.
"We never thought we'd be able to go to Hawaii," said Becca."Our kids were so happy; even the littlest things like just playing at the airport on the way to Hawaii.""It's hard every day knowing that he's not here anymore," Becca said.
Five-year-old Noah Martin was snorkeling with his siblings in the shallow side of the beach during sunset. "We had gotten all the kids snorkeling gear because there were fish in the water and we really didn't see a struggle, but since all the kids were under water, we really couldn't tell he was struggling or if he was struggling so he drowned," Becca recalled.Becca says she has photos and videos of Noah before the incident, and he was happy just to be experiencing life with his family.
"He was such a simple kid, he really didn't ask for much," she said."He was so appreciative of everything that he had because he knew that he had a lot of siblings and he knew that we had to work hard to give them what they wanted, so he didn't complain."Despite going through one of the hardest things, the Martin's say the outpouring of community support is a light shining through tragedy. The family is well-known throughout the St.
"I see everybody, I see this community as a piece of that, I see that [God] don't give us the battles we can't handle, and I see that he's giving us all these tools and he's blessing all these angels on us," Stanley said."It's helping us grieve and it's helping us accept our new norm without our son," Becca said.
