I believe I may have previously mentioned a young family in my area.  About a year ago their youngest child unlocked a door and drowned in their pool.  Trenton was the youngest of 5 children.  The family has displayed remarkable courage and grace in the face of such a tragedy.  Instead of falling apart, as I fear I would do, Trenton's mother organized a non profit organization, Tractors for Trenton, which provided clothing and toys for a large number of needy kids this past Christmas.  Then, she organized low cost swimming lessons for children in the area.  A lot of kids took the lessons this spring.
The oldest daughter just graduated from high school.  She has a summer job as a lifeguard at a local lake.  Yesterday, a 9 year old boy got in too deep and got in trouble. She spotted him and rescued him.  He did not require CPR, but his lips were blue. 
I imagine Olivia would say she was just doing her job, but I thought it was extraordinary given the events of the past year, and perhaps an example of God working in mysterious ways.
