One night in 1987, the first cries of a boy named Patrick John (PJ) were heard, this was the Duncan’s first child. He was born with a mental disability, a disability that would not allow him to think clearly and he would not learn how to walk or talk until his old age. This news was a big blow for his parents, who waited anxiously for their first baby. They thought the child would distract them from their socio-economic problems but on the contrary, this child turned out to be an additional burden for them, since the doctor prescribed PJ very expensive drugs. Three nights after the birth of PJ, a light bulb is turned on in the clinic's central office. A nurse rushed in the room only to find Amy Duncan holding her son and crying; PJ had died.
To support their financial problems, Amy obtained a job as a nurse in the same clinic where PJ passed away. Two years later, the Duncans tried one more time to have a baby. In 1989, Teddy, the second daughter of the couple, was born. The Duncans have moved to a beautiful house in the suburbs and Teddy slept in a large and very comfortable crib, it was a beautiful stage of her life, it was totally perfect. When she grew up she went to a high-class private school. Both, mom and dad tried their best to keep that perfect life for Teddy. Amy worked extra shift, so she could pay Teddy’s needs.There were even times when she stayed at the hospital for days without going home.
