The sun-drenched expanse of the garden, the feel of the earth between his fingers, were where Richard found peace. He had always loved gardening. Now, his daughter, seven-year-old Olivia, was digging in the soil with him.

Olivia, covered in dirt and grinning from ear to ear, was helping him plant seeds.

"I can’t wait to see the tomatoes grow, Daddy!" she declared, her eyes sparkling.

Richard felt a wave of happiness wash over him.
