That letter to Amy Winehouse from her mom is pretty damned heartbreaking.

LONDON - The mother of troubled soul singer Amy Winehouse has written a public letter to a British Sunday newspaper pleading with her daughter to come home for help to deal with a series of personal traumas.

"We want to help you, but we know that unless you want to be helped — unless you come to us — anything we tried would be in vain," wrote Janis Winehouse in a letter published by the News of the World.

"I pile hope upon hope that your strong will can bend for just a moment to make that decision and come home to me."

"We were terrified after we saw those pictures of you earlier this week, wandering the freezing streets of London at dawn in your underwear."

"All I wanted to do was rush into those pictures and wrap you up in a big, warm blanket."

"Early fame has overwhelmed you, it's dizzied you and muddled your mind. For a moment, forget you're a superstar. You're also young and vulnerable, no stronger than any of the rest of us.

"You think you're strong enough to get through this on your own, darling, but you're not."

1. She's quite talented but I fear she will burn out fast ala Janis Joplin if she doesn't get help soon

2. Although I do feel sorry for Amy and I do feel compassion for her mother, I am more distraught

over having to look at whatever that thing on the white platter is. Is it fish?
Is it dead? If I put my glasses on, will I find a pair or eyes in there (or, even worse,
just one?).

I enjoy reading your posts very much, but that monster mash has gotta go!

Juts sayin'...

4. If she shows up...

...at an NA meeting anytime soon, I'll give a shit.

Until then:

PARTY ON, AMY !!!!!!
