Yes. And it sounds as if Ruben was likely gone from this world very quickly ... well before the large searches were undertaken.

Agreed. I can imagine him heading straight for the water and falling in. Currents likely swept him along to the dam.. It's so completely heartbreaking.

Mother of Queensland toddler found dead in dam pens heart-breaking goodbye post

In an emotional Facebook post on Friday, his mother, Natasha, said she loved him "so incredibly much" and would always have him in her heart.

"I never ever thought I'd have to make a status like this in my entire life, but this is what it's came to and I have to come to the realisation that you'll never be in my arms again," she wrote.

"The love I have for you is completely unconditional and always will be."

The mother said she hoped he would look over her.

"Fly high my son. I love you to the moon and back. I wish I could've outlived you. You'll be my forever and always."

"Ever since you left me it feels like you're going to walk back through my door, yell out 'mum ma' and give me a big cuddle," she wrote on Facebook on Monday.
"I had you when I was just 16, we did it incredibly hard but eventually got on our little feet.
"You used to laugh and smile when I played back the videos I recorded of you and now all I do is cry because I know you're never coming back to me."

Agreed. I can imagine him heading straight for the water and falling in. Currents likely swept him along to the dam.. It's so completely heartbreaking.

As so young, Ruben didn't think he was in danger, when he entered the water.
I hope he didn't feel any pain, and did not realize what was happening.
Just went to heaven, without any fear or pain, I hope.
