for years. he said tomorrow, we re going to discuss the vocals for the tour. you know? that was the last time i spoke to him. this is piers morgan tonight. jaycee dugard s mother never gave up hope but it took 18 agonizing years. as she and her family putting their lives back together, joining me now is jaycee s mother and therapist. welcome to you both. an extraordinary story. one of the most extraordinary i think i have ever encountered in sort of 30 years of journalism. the obvious question is, how are things going? how s normal life? can it be normal for you and jaycee? absolutely. this is what s normal for us and every day is a challenge and we work through it and, you know, therapists help us and we help each other and it s one day at a time. how s she? pretty awesome. she s happy. and healthy. and learning and experiencing new things every day. and i get the joy of watching that. i missed 18 years of that kid s life and every day is a blessing in my eyes.
i ve decided i m going to go to every trial and just be present and watch and listen. i was in fact at his last hearing on friday. they ve told me that i might be called to testify if it goes to trial. larry: because they can t bring up any prior convictions of his. but there s a new law that allows past victims to testify in california. so i may be brought in. larry: and you would happily do that? absolutely. larry: this is hard to say, probably a tiny bit of hope for amber, right? there s always hope. you have to hope. look at terry probyn. she had to live with hope for 18 years and it came through. larry: yeah, her daughter was alive. so the hope is she is being held. the hope is she is being held. that s sad. larry: that s weird that s what you re hoping for. it s weird to think of it that way, but you have to hold on to some hope. larry: katie will stay with
