Dear Mother…. Will You Write a Letter?
This on-line world that we "live" in never ever ceases to amaze me. Among the muck, there are hundreds upon thousands of wonderful strangers pulling together to do amazing, wonderful things for each other and for the world we live in. Today I'm talking about The Mother Letter Project. Have you heard of it? I first learned of this from a blog I frequent Rocks in My Dryer.
My husband and I often skip giving each other gifts for various reasons. Our favorite is to give, make Christmas special for others. That's what is important to us. I'm excited about this project and I hope you'll read more and encourage your friends and family to get involved.
The Back Story can be found here and anonymously by this husband who well, is remaining anonymous for a reason. (Read the back story for that info)
In short here is what he says;
Simply stated, I am collecting a series of “open letters” from mothers,
to mothers. Share your stories—no matter how raw or difficult. Share
you concerns—no matter how foolish they may seem. Share your wisdom—no
matter how you came by it. Share your mother story. The only request?
Start the letter “Dear Mother” and sign it. I will compile all of the
letters in a Christmas book for my wife.
So what are you waiting for go to The Mother Letter Project to find out more.
I'm writing are you?
Dear Mother……
Thank you so much. I have linked your magazine on the site. I am humbled by the response this is getting.
I want to…just thinking about what I’d write made me cry…not sure I’m up to the emotional swing now. This is truly a fabulous gift!
