I sat there waiting for her, she promised she would come back, I believed her even though her eyes were telling a different story, I did not think she was crazy enough to do what she did, she left and never came back.
My name is Ashleigh Lockridge, I am a 15 year old girl who lives in foster care since my mother had the bravery to leave me with my sick grandfather and never come back. I remember that day like it was yesterday.........
It was a late night of winter when my mom said she was going out with her girlfriends and I should look after my sick grandfather, she went to bath and I was just watching TV the whole time, sitting on the couch with my favourite blue blanket. I didn't mind my mom going out late at night, she usually went out and came back home, but that night was different, I wish someone had told me that was the last day I saw my mother...
