When my sister, Lena, invited us to her estate for a poolside afternoon, it felt like the perfect chance to reconnect. Vince and I wanted Zoe to bond with her cousins, and this seemed like the ideal spot.
Zoe, our little sunshine, as Vince called her, was eight, bright-eyed, and endlessly curious. She loved swimming and splashed big when excited, giggling even if it made other kids squeal.
She wasn’t just clever—she was kind, watchful, and quick to cheer others up.
