Even though raising a kid with autism presented obstacles, John and Sarah's life was full with love and joy. Their lives were run smoothly by a schedule and a rhythm, but one day everything changed. Within weeks of receiving the diagnosis that she had an aggressive form of cancer, Sarah passed suddenly. John was devastated since he had lost his soul partner and now had to raise Lily by himself. John was in shock for the first few weeks following Sarah's passing. He had a hard time accepting what had happened and figuring out how he would bring up Lily without his wife.

After they were done with the swings, they played on the jungle gym, climbed trees, and even flew a kite. John watched as Lily’s eyes lit up with joy and excitement, and he felt a sense of pride in being able to bring this happiness to his daughter.
