The Reason Why I Decided
to Write My Mother's Memoir
As
Authors each of us have our own reason as to why we write a particular genre.
My writing didn’t start out as a memoir I was trying to find our sister that
had been abducted as an infant. I was so desperate to bring some closure and
make sense out of this whole abduction ordeal so that I could move forward with
my own life. I wanted to know what happen to her, whether she was still living
or not. So I just started writing letters to everyone and anyone that I thought
could help find her. But then the more I wrote the better I began to feel it
became very therapeutic for me. Then this thought came to my mind to write a
book and share my mother’s story to inspire parents everywhere that have lost a child through
death, abduction, or a child that has run away to never give up hope of
finding your love one until you find
some closure. Although it’s a daily struggle and it seems like the heartache
and pain will never go away. Just remember you will always have the memories of
that child that no one can take away. I watched my mother struggle for many
years as I was growing up after our sister was abducted. We saw the sadness in
her eyes the tears she tried to hold back every day and her beautiful smile
turned to a frown down through the years.
Mom had no pictures of her child, she had no chance to say goodbye. All Mom had
were memories of her child’s birth. My mother passed away June 2005.
