Because she was scared.
And she is very very scared.
And she didn't know what was going to happen.
And that she was not scared about is that she's afraid she would never get to see him.

And that can convince a twelve year old child that.
You know she'll she'll get the -- again was very hard this very hard for me.
I'm -- I can't even imagine that Kim.
What what what what have you heard.
Well my daughter called me the same time that -- -- called her and I could hear Rebecca I just crying and screaming on that and the found.
And my daughter was crying -- -- -- -- come home please just come get me come take me home pleases me very come pick me up please -- I wanna go home.

I'm sorry it's kind of hard year.
It's a satellite delay I hate it Morton you do go ahead please just tell me the story it.
And impala and how they're coping through all of this I mean I can't even imagine it a little nieces and nephews I can even imagine -- like that as -- mommy's clothes always be able to do is fix it.
Right mommy -- it mommy claims that mommy and get it together and you know you know that's why that's -- -- -- I -- here.
We want to be here when that ship comes the end to make sure that our daughters know that even despite everything.
Bottom line is their mommies are here it's finally here that's -- we drove seven hours.
You -- like late last night while you're you guys are saints and I bet they've been appreciate -- and and I wonder if you know we read all of these reports and so -- what we get.
Is the worst of the reports you know -- and you just hope maybe it's not quite that bad how's it been described by you guy to you guys buy your husband's.
On Monday my -- and -- then inform me that.
-- -- eating that onion sandwiches they had some -- they had warm water.
At a bottled water not anything cold.
That they word.
Requesting that they use the restroom and red plastic bags.
Because the toilets were overflowing and -- -- that the Ross that is coming up to the showers that was on Monday.
This vote has been shaking around for three more days after that.
That is got to be horrible.
We've brought you know we've contacted our family doctors -- brought you know antibiotics to get them started on until -- get them back to the doctor.
You know just for the bacteria that's Ali just running all over their bodies since they can't take.
And -- hands with soap and water you know it's just.
I'm hoping now my -- -- describing -- much more disgusting picture but I'm having a fear that I'm not.
I really am.
The that that's been that's been the fear throughout you know there's so many levels on these things you that the cabins are down in the bowels of this not no pun intended of this ship.
I don't know how you can sleep down there it's in the -- out they -- where they sleep.
And I went -- talked to Rebecca she told me that that first night Sunday night she actually slept.
In the hallway on the floor.
They had an interior cabin with and with no wind and with no power no air conditioning no.
Air circulation and know any thing.
And that's -- in the hallway on the floor.
The first night after that -- did not -- after that neither one of us to talk her daughters we don't know what's happened to expand there's absolutely no community.
-- whatsoever I'm I'm out of time sadly I don't even know how you're dealing with -- -- -- I wanna ask you this they're gonna give your money back.
And they gonna give you a free trip to ticket to do it again I just wonder where you might deposit back -- from carnival.
I don't think we're going to be getting one of those that would have -- we did that.
Father daughter trip that they wanna take that money end the mothers aren't getting any better for the stress and heart that fester and now I'm not even them.
-- my guess is maybe it.
-- -- maybe just take take it down the beach -- go to the go to Destin or some go to Panama City Beach next time just.
Just chill on the crystal white sand that was my I've never seen -- a toilet situation they -- but.
Man vesta -- backhand Alley do you know make you make taken video and tell them.
Welcome home and I hope they they're -- think it over this man you as soon I'll have your kids are often -- mom's sitting at home like that -- -- I'd move.
Make your skin crawl.
