"Yeah dad"
"Oh sorry I didn't know you were behind me. Where are you sisters?"
"Ashlee is helping Faith"
"Ok"
"Why does life sucks?"
"Life doesn't suck"
"Yeah it does"
"How?"
"People die"
"Yeah basically you're born you live and you die"
"I know that but mom didn't really live. She wasn't even 40 yet'
"I know"
"Life isn't fair"
"Sometimes life isn't fair"
"Do you think life sucks?"
"N-N-N-No"
"You were thinking of it til I mentioned it"
"I think life sucks without your mom"
"You didn't think of it when got sick the 1st time when your dad left you and when I was born?"
"Well you got 2 out of 3 right?"
"What do you mean"

Everyone came from the graveyard back to the Carters
"Mr. Carter I am sorry for your lost" A man said
"Thank you"
"Dad we need more plates" Ashlee said
"I'll get it"
"Ok" Worth comes in
"Hey Ashlee"
"Worth?"
"I guess you are mad at me"
"I'm not but my father is"
"I thought he was"
"You thought right" Ashlee leaves
"Who the hell was that?" Chris asked
"Worth"
"Time out Worth is here and dad let him in?"
"Well dad doesn't know he is here"
"Dad is gonna be pist"
"No Shit" Ashlee said
"What are we going to do?"
"What can we do?"
"I guess nothing"
Landon goes into the kitchen and he sees his dad
"Landon"
"What the hell"
"I'm sorry"
"For what that my wife died or what you said about my family and mom"
"That my grandchildren mother died"
"They aren't your grandchildren"
"I am not sorry what I said"

"Fine"
That night Chris and Ashlee were in the living room in their pajamas and Landon just came in
"Hey"

"A couple? I think our lives are changed for ever," Ashlee said
"I agree" Chris said
