Hope you are in good place now Nay. May God have mercy on you where ever you are. I write this letter to thank you and to always remind myself of how wonderful ,selfless mother you are to me. Even though you will not be able to read it, I still think it will reach to you and you will know what is in my heart. I still felt the pain in my chest knowing I no longer feel you, and talk to you every time I'm feeling down.
My mother and I posed for a picture after we cut some coconut.
I will always reminisce your simplicity, relentless and selfless love. You showed us how to be strong in times of difficulties. You stand up by yourself and did anything to support us . It still vivid on my mind when father died in his early age, and you felt all alone. What a big responsibilities you have to face. You have to take care and support your seven small children all by yourself. He did not left anything to alleviate your worries. You worked day and night just to give us food on our plate. You never have time to help our homework in school because you were so busy working and your tired body gave us hint that you need rest for the next day. That made us realize, to help you and help our self whatever we can. My older sibling and I started to work to contribute in our everyday needs. You were so proud of us then. Our circumstances helped us to become one and lean on each other. If you were still alive now. You will be more happier and more proud to your children. Most of them graduated in college and have a decent profession. They all got married and have a family of their own.

As of me, I got married and living here in US. You have two beautiful granddaughter. I travelled some places that you were once dreamed of. Because of you I became self sufficient, strong and have a positive outlook in life. You taught me how to love unselfishly. You instill in my mind that whatever circumstances that we might face in life, we can pass through it. I think of you when I'm in difficult situation, how you handles those trials and hardship being a single mother of seven children. I'm so proud of you and very grateful to God for giving me the one of the best mother in the world. And who had the greatest impact in my life.
Love you always,
Arleen
Arleen,
ReplyDeleteGreat post. This is a very sincere and powerful letter. I hope that you consider sending it to your mentor/nanny. I like the images that you included. They help to tell the story.
Your letter is nice and it tells a general story. Try to always include some specific stories as well - do you remember a time that was very impactful? Include small stories that readers can relate to.
Always try to provide key, specific context, so that your reader fully understands the situation, the relationships, the details that they will relate to.
If you don't, the post will come off as too general to grasp on to.
Here, you clearly express your gratitude with passion and confidence. It's a beautifully written letter. This person has clearly had a positive impact on your upbringing and you give her credit for guiding you in that direction.
