Sometimes things happen so quickly and once it's over you are left stunned and wondering how or why this could happen.
Lilyrose Carson knows of this all too well, her mother left when she was three, and five years later her father died in a train wreck on a business trip to Vancouver. The last words he said to her brother; Jace, was "promise me you'll take care of your lil sis while I'm gone okay?" Then he glanced at the sitter and she gave him the usual reassurance of 'your kids are in great hands' before he stepped out the door to go to the station.
