Oh God, I am in tears, anyone else watching?

That poor, brave, brilliant little girl.

I'm trying really hard to feel sympathy with her mother, but my God it's hard. Accidents happen, but to leave a lit ciggerete in a babies room, then walk away and not see her after destroying her life because it is 'easier' is making it very difficult.

Yes!! Tears steaming down my face! How brave is that baby girl? Just a miracle.

Glad it's not just me!

Her step mum is awesome. As is her dad and actually everyone in her life bar her mother.

Terri is a fighter, that's for sure.

He dad is an absolute hero! And Terri has such a bright and spunky personality.

What channel please lalyrawr

CitrusyOne · 15/07/2013 21:29

Five

channel 5, lucy I have seen Terry on This Morning, but they have always glossed over the accident that caused the fire! I know accidents do happen, but surely mum must have noticed her cigarette had disappeared when she left Terri? Doesnt really add up!

Aww sorry Lucy can you get 5 on demand on the Internet?

I was saying the same to my OH landrover. Though the bit that angers me more, is the fact at the time her daughter needed her most she walked away because she let guilty and it was easier to to see her.

Like I said, I'm trying really hard to be empathetic, but it just isn't working.

Yep I know, I am trying to feel sympathy for her mum because it must be desperately hard to cope with the guilt, but what about Terri's need for her mother? Thankfully she has a wonderful step mum, makes me cry again!

Ohhh God weeping again at new wig!!!

MrsAlwaysRight · 15/07/2013 21:45

What an amazing young lady and such a fab dad! Even DH had a tear in his eye when she got her new wig.

landrover · 15/07/2013 21:46

Terri's dad is bloody amazing!! he should be up for all sorts of awards!

owlface · 15/07/2013 21:58

Incredible that Terri's mum left her, how cruel. I find it amazing how generously forgiving Terri is towards her as well.

Same owlface. My OH was furious that Terri forgave her!

What pissed me off was the mum saying 'I'm always here for her'

Err..you wasn't there when she needed you most lady! The relationship with her step mum was lovely as well.

Her mother must have left her for quite a while for the fire to take hold so strongly. I suppose it's one thing to be thankful for that Terri was too young to have memories of it.

iloveweetos · 15/07/2013 22:32

I couldn't feel sorry for her mum at all. Terri and her family are amazing. I cried seeing her body when she was getting washed. So sad and at so young x
