Dear Mother,

WARM-HEARTED greetings to you!!! It’s now over 10 years since you left your body and went back home to the land of spirit. I visited your grave recently where your body lies, and it caused me to reflect on our relationship in the past.

It is believed, by many people, that I can still communicate with you and that you are watching over me and continue to care for my welfare.

I know our relationship wasn’t everything you or I would have wanted in the past. I did make many attempts to improve it but with very little success.

I now feel that we wasted many years in which we could have had a more meaningful and enjoyable time together and I regret and feel the loss of what might have been. I knew you loved me but I held on to hurt, which prevented me from loving you in return. I did forgive you in my head but was unable to let go of the hurt emotionally. This all created a feeling of distance and unease between us.

I don’t know if I communicated to you the healing and freedom you gave me, when I visited you in the nursing home where you lived for the last 10 years of your life.

You were approximately 80 years of age and on that special day, to my great surprise you opened your heart to me and told me your life story. It lasted almost two hours and I got an understanding of you and the challenges you had to face and overcome during your life. I felt compassion for you, and, as a result, my attitude and feelings for you changed. I’m now in a good relationship with you in spirit and I have nothing, only love and gratitude for you, and a deep sense of appreciation for everything you’ve given to me. Someday I hope we will meet again and I’ll be free to share all the love that is in my heart. Your loving son.

John
