She loved the simple things of life—waiting at the bus stop, preparing dinners, packing lunches, watching her oldest at soccer practice and playing with her youngest. Observing the developing relationship between her dear daughters, who were seven-years-apart in age, was prized time. Rebecca always imagined how these two sisters would grow up together and become close friends. Life was pretty much perfect. But in late March of 2012, Rebecca and her firstborn, Olivia, joined extended family on a weekend vacation in Florida. During the trip, Olivia died in a boating accident. Rebecca’s world crumbled.
