The three O'Loughlin children play at the end of their quiet suburban street. Their mom said, "I want them to always know I love them for who they are, for their very existence of being here. They don't need to be Marcus' caretaker. They don't need to be strong for us. They don't need to be good girls and good boys, because we have a lot on our plates. No, they just need to be typical kids."
