Wonderful and loving article, Michelle. My mother passed away twenty years ago this year and I miss her as though it were only yesterday. A mother's love is irreplaceable.

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts about your mother.

Thank you Sandra,

 

I could and would never try to replace my mother. I don't know how I will handle it when she gets to heaven.

Hi Michelle, This was a very beautiful and sentimental article. I think that if I was a mom I would have cried. Good job.

As someone that has known you, and your mother for awhile, I am very impressed by your growth. God is definitely working in your life.

Hi Michelle,

 

A letter that touches the heart as one comes to realize that mothers are God's gift to children. I love mom very much and I believe it's time I tell my mom how much I love her. I never got the chance to tell my Dad, I surely don't want to miss that chance with my mom. Thank your for reminding us how dear they really are to us.

 

Keep them coming.

 

Love you

Thank you Angie! Yes, our mother's are a gift. I am glad that this inspired you to tell your mom how special she is. I too never told my dad as I never met him.

 

Hugs and love,

Dear Michelle,

I read you’re “A letter Of Love For My Mother”

How blessed and fortunate you are to have been allowed to love, and to be loved by your mother.

My mother abandoned me and my little brother Erik 1944 during WWII, and left me with my alcoholic father, and May 1945,  WWII done with, his drunken behavior became so bad that my brother and I was taken away from him by force and placed in a boys home.i

I was never allowed to love, or be loved by my mother, and few to none can, or will ever be able to understand and comprehend that missed part of my life.

In my book, Memoirs of an Immigrant, I wrote my last chapter about me and my mother, simply calling it “AFTERWORD”

I now believe I should have named it: A Mothers Love, Missed Forever.

And so I have submitted this admittingly sad part of my life to SearchWarp for all to read, and is intended as a continuation of my response to your letter.

I cried as I read your letter, and I thank you for sharing it with me.

Very Sincerely,

Olof

Dear Olof,

 

God bless you. I am glad that you read my letter to my mom. I too cried when I wrote it. Things weren't always easy. My mom was alcoholic and I spent a lot of time in foster homes and at my grandmothers. When she got sober, Praise the Lord, we had to learn how to live different and that difference is a 360 turn around. I never knew my dad as he was an abusive alcoholic and my mom left him after I was born from the hospital. I one day may write a book of my story also. I look forward to reading your response letter. I will do so after work today. I have also joined your fan club. Keep up the passionate writing and thank you.

Thank you for my initial response to your letter, and for joining my fan club.

 And if you do not mind, I am going to do the same thing; Join your fan club.

 And before I go, You MOST read my book. You most, and you will cry, but I promise you it will be one of the best Memoirs you will ever read.

 

But, do not believe what I say.  Ask Sandra Graham and in a week or two ask Susan Thom.

 

Be well,

 

Mr. E

Dear Olof,

 

Where do I get a copy of 'Memoirs of An Immigrant?' I would love to read it. I am almost sure that I will cry and possibly relate to parts. I also know that if Sandra and Sue enjoyed it, it must be really good.

 

Hugs and blessings,

Go to Barnes and Noble or Amazon.

Give them the Title of the book and my name, Olof A. Eriksen

 

And ditto, ditto, = the same to you = hugs and blessings

Really beautiful Michelle,

 

The love of a daughter to her mother and visa versa is one of the most precious held jewels I know of. My daughter and I are so close and when we play cello and piano together the spiritual communication is so strong ad special. Your letter reminded me of how very lucky I am and how sometimes we don't always make the most of each and every day.

 

You are a wonderful lady Michelle, I don't need to have met you to say this, it's all in the thoughts you put down on paper.

Thank you so much Elfreda!

 

I was just praying and drinking my coffee before church today. I can feel the presence of the Holy Spirit right now. I visualized you and your mother playing instruments together. Wow! what a special gift. I have always loved music and been involved but not with mom. She has been there with me though.

 

Have a blessed day and "Jesus loves you always"
