Kelly Volpe was sentenced to 20 years

"It was your job to protect Abigail and instead Abigail needed protection from you," Judge Angela White said. "You took your daughter on a journey she never returned from. I can't forgive you."

Niether can I.

Rest in peace, Abby.

thank goodness!! How is your daughter doing with this news?

Honestly? Not so well. Lorelei knows that Kelly hurt Abby, that it was Kelly's actions that lead to Abby's death, but Kelly is Abby's mommy...and just like she would never want me to be sad and scared and lonely, or her new friend Madison's mom to be sad, scared and lonely, she doesn't want Kelly to feel any of that, either. Which is so sweet and generous...and I wish I could capture the emotion.

You are so right... I wish I could empathize with the mother... but I just can't. I'm glad your daughter still can.

There was never going to be a happy ending to this, but this is still satisfying. I hope she thinks about Abigail for every day of those 20 years.

[theroadtoelle]

she does.

Good. I still think about Abby every year that Lorelei gets older, every milestone she accomplishes. She still has friends that she made at CPA…Abby should have been one of them.
