One morning Troo's mom was told her that her dad was really sick. Troo and her sister were laying down on the lime green grass,their mom told them that she had another guy that she was dating his name was Hall. Troo said that she liked her own dad better than Hall. Troo said to her mom "My dad may be sick but that doesnt mean that you have to be with other guys." Troo's mom got really mad at her. Then the next day they took Troo's dad to thee hospital because he got really sick. When his dad was at the hospital Troo's dad called her over and he wanted to talk to her bacause he wasnted to tell her something. He felt like dying. He told her "you need to take care of your little sister,you need to promise me that." All Troo saw was all kinds of wires stuck to him. Troo told her dad that he has to be strong that he couldn't die. Troo's mom was with her new boyfriend Hall. Troo's and Nell's mom didn't care anymore about him.
Opinion:My opinion would be that the mom of Troo and Nell shouldn't be with another guy when her husband is in danger of dying. She should be able to be with her daughters and telling them that everything is going to be alright.
Question:Why would Troo's mom be with another guy "Hall" instead of being with her real husband and with her daughters?
Quote:"Promise me that you will take care of Troo." I think that he should'nt be saying that he should be strong and trying his best.
