Time passed by, but the sadness never left their family home. Alexandra felt like she was stuck, not able to move on. While Vivian didn't know how to help her mother.

It was on Vivian’s 13th birthday, when their perfect world started to crack, when a scream rippled through the music and laughter at the birthday party.
Michail suddenly collapsed & Alexandra couldn't do anything but watch the love of her life die in front of their family & friends.

As Vivian was growing up, she watched her parents in awe. Their love for each other and ambition to never give up on their dreams, made her believe anything is possible.

But sometimes you just can’t predict what happens.

Even when things weren’t perfect, they were happy. They loved each other deeply and soon welcomed their daughter Vivian into the world.

High school sweethearts Alexandra & Michail moved to San Sequoia after graduation. Michail always had a passion for photography, to get by he worked as a cook. Alex loved writing poetry. But poems didn't pay the bills, so she took a job as columnist for the San Sequoia times.
