He never met Amber, but it's still hard for him. He cries and he has to stop. But he likes to help me, and her. |
I would tell him the 'Bad Man' took her and did this to her. The name just kind of stuck. |
She was just a giggly little 9-year-old girl. |
Sometimes I want to curl up and die. I can't put into words how hard it is. But I'm not giving up. Amber was a fighter, so I'll be a fighter. We don't want any more dead babies. |
The AMBER Alert to me is bittersweet. It's wonderful to bring children home where they belong, but what if we had the AMBER Alert when Amber went missing? |
The whole neighborhood was close-knit. It always was safe. It was for me. |
They say time heals all wounds ... |
