Mothers Day
This Mothers Day I’m thinking about Helen, Maria Crescencia, Doris, Xinia and Margarita – women who have shared their stories with me for my film. Today, these mothers are waiting and praying for the chance to connect with their lost children. I really hope I can help them.
Here is a letter given to me by one Mother in Costa Rica to give to her son.
Dear Son, I apologize if I came to stir your life, that was not my intention. I've searched for you for 23 years and the hope to find you has kept me alive; but my intention is not that you would recognize me as a mom, I know that's impossible. If I've searched for you throughout these years, it was not for guilt but for love. It was the circumstances that led me to this. You were the most beautiful child. and I believe it meant a good investment for them, pity that such things can not be checked or proven, but I know there is a God who sees everything. But that's not your problem, it was mine. I just want you to know that it did not happen for lack of love, but fatality. All these years there was not one night I did not spend asking God to put guardian angels around you to take care of you; and I know they have cared for you. I've had a painful life and I'm tired, my time is over and I just want to ask you to forgive me. I know I have no right even to ask for forgiveness. I do not expect anything from you. I ask God to know that you were doing well and that you have a family to care for and to love. I love you with all my heart and if someday you can forgive me please send me a photo of you with your family. And if you have any questions, I promise I'll reply with the whole truth. Please do not take too long, I love you,
