Why did Frank Cross deserve a second chance.


I have always wondered why Frank was given a second chance by some higher power, because to me he didn't seem to be a sympathetic character. I understand why Scrooge from A Christmas Carol was given another chance, he had no mother or father, and the only person who really loved him (his sister) died.. This left him all alone.. Frank Cross did have a mother, who loved him. He also had a brother who he pushed away from him.. I just don't understand why Frank was given a second chance. Why did he deserve it, that's my question.

None of us deserve a second chance. The whole point was that someone who cared about Scrogge/Cross, Lew/Marley got them that second chance. Plus, they were making everyone around them miserable and they needed to change before something broke.
