ReplyDeleteToday I have read that even Amys mother , who met her daughter two days before her death felt that it was only a question of time when she would die. Unfortunately, a mothers instinct proved right. RIP.

A nicely written piece....
Mothers usually know when their child is on the road to perdition or eternity. Amy was crying out for help. Her mom and dad could have done their duty by Amy a bit better.She might still be alive.
ReplyDeleteNo one is entirely responsible for her death but they had a hand in it.
