In loving memory of my little angel, Abi
Introduction
Bad things can happen to anybody, they can happen anywhere and to anyone, no matter what age or who you are but you wouldn't think that something bad could happen to somebody very close to you, your own flesh and blood, your own child.
Firstly, allow me to introduce myself, My name is Max Branning and I have three wonderful kids, well had three, all I have left is my oldest daughter Lauren and Son Oscar after the horrific tragedy which had befallen my youngest daughter, Abi who was kidnapped and murdered nearly eight years ago. She was only Eleven years old and some sicko had snatched her off the street and claimed her innocent young life, the life of a sweet and caring young girl who wouldn't hurt a fly.
Nearly eight years on and I still mourn the loss of my little girl, I still weep when I look at her photos, hear one of her favourite songs or still see her toys in the same place where she last left them as I cannot bear to move them, it is a huge reminder of when she was enjoying life as a happy little girl who should have been out having fun with her friends and she was hoping to be a vet when she grew up but all of that had been taken away by some sick individual who apparently had been stalking my little girl weeks before abducting her and claiming her life so that she wouldn't tell anybody what things he did to her during her final moments.
Abi, sweetheart, I miss you so much and this memoir will be written in your memory.
Love Daddy
