NEW LIFE NEW MAN

Amy had been on her own for four years now, since her mother died from cancer, she had only had a mother, she never knew her father, mum had always said that he left before she was born, she had a good relationship with her mother, but now found herself lonely and sad.
This morning was hopefully going to be better for her, the sun was shining the birds were singing and she had chores to do.
