Hi Mama, I’m Bridget Gaudette, your 34-year-old daughter. We haven’t talked much the last dozen or so years. I know it’s because I rejected my religious upbringing and you felt you had to choose between god and me. I was young then.. just figuring things out in life and I really needed you.. (read the rest of the letter here).
A Letter to My Mother :-(

Hi Gaudette,
Very touching. I am a dad to a 34 year old daughter. Would you consider sending the letter to your mom? I think she would be touched to know the personal things about yourself that you mention, your honesty, and you nonjudgment of her. It could possibly break through? You never know.

I hope your mother is proud of you whether she lets you know it or not. She certainly should be. I've never met you, but I'm proud of you!

Hi SP! I remember you from several years ago when you used to post here. From your avatar, you are as pretty as ever! I hope life has been treating you well! I send you wishes that your Mother responds positively to you. It's been so long since you have heard from her. My Mother still refuses to talk to me too, and I haven't seen her in over 25 years! The Watchtower sucks, and I will never forgive them for tearing so many families apart.
Reading your letter, which was very eloquently written to your Mother, I see that you have done a lot to help others by being a volunteer and doing Social Work. You've also had a good education which has allowed you to do a lot of things that you wouldn't otherwise have had the opportunity.
Going to Egypt and other places overseas must have been incredible!
Wishing you the best!
