Hi Mum, This is our story for you. I don't know what I could write for you to pick up this book to read, hopefully knowing your two daughters' have written it will be enough for you. It's been hard not having you by our side and even though Lisa's stubborn and will say that she doesn't care I know truthfully she found it all difficult when you left or she wouldn't have agreed to put her side to this story. I will admit it was hard for me when you left, it's still hard till this day to be without you, I used to think the reason you left was down to me as I didn't clean my room and maybe I took you for granted but now I know why 'dad' told us why you left, the day he told us set a new chapter in our lives and for Lisa too as she fought for her daughter back. If you open this book to read then you won't have missed what has happened in our lives whilst you haven't been with us. Travel with us mum when we cry, laugh and get angry. Or fold your arms like I remembered you doing when we do something wrong, I know you won't be happy when you learn I mix with the wrong crowd, I can just imagine your face now. Please mum read our story and then come back to us. Love Ellie and Lisa Carlson
