Last week was spring break for the schools in our area. Like thousands of others, Cathy and Steve planned a family vacation with their two teenage sons. They were excited about going on a spring break cruise and referred to it as their "vacation of a lifetime." They couldn't have possibly known that their dream vacation would turn into such a nightmare. After getting back to land, they found their car and proceeded to make the long drive home. At some point, the 15 year old got behind the wheel so his parents could rest. He lost control of the SUV when it swerved into the grassy median, but when he tried to pull it back onto the road, he overcompensated. The car flipped several times and his parents and brother were thrown from the car. Only the driver was wearing a seat belt and he walked away from the accident. The brother was pronounced dead at the hospital and both parents are in intensive care. Everyone is trying to make sense of what happened while praying for the full recovery of this couple, and emotional healing for the family, but there are unanswered questions.
