It was shortly after Jasmine's 8th Birthday, that the annual family trip was taking place. Going to Disneyland Paris, as a belated birthday present for the young girl. On the way to the airport is when a tragedy struck; a drunken driver hit the side of the car that was transporting Jasmine and her family.
