They wait because they want 17-year-old Mackenzie to heal from her surgery.

Because even though their sons were killed, they don't want another person to die.

They don't know what happened in the car.

They don't immediately go and interrogate Mackenzie after she's gotten out of surgery, which no one would blame them for doing.

I'm sure they really wanted to.

There's so much that doesn't make sense that they have to sit with for a prolonged period of time, probably even now.

Like, why was she driving so fast straight into a brick building and never hitting the brakes?

I don't think anyone would have faulted them if they were posted up in that hospital room, but they weren't.

Instead, they were waiting.

And while they were waiting, they find out that 17-year-old Mackenzie has not been waiting.

She does not wait.

She does not wait to post Snapchat stories of herself laying in the hospital bed.

She'll like post the little flowers that she received from the hospital.

But more shocking, she hasn't even waited to respond to a modeling agency that reached out to her on Instagram a day or two after the fatal crash.

The brand comments on Mackenzie's Instagram page, asking to use a picture of her to repost to their socials.

Mackenzie's mom responds, Thank you for this amazing opportunity.

She would love if you would use that.

She's actually been trying to contact you guys for a PR email.

It was a tragic accident.

This is just as painful for her as it is for everyone else, or maybe even a little more painful.
