Mothers Day Message from Tina Peters: Day 584
Even though we’ve accomplished so much as a nation and personally, I feel like the greatest role I’ve ever played has been being a mom. It’s also been the most painful role I’ve ever played.
I was deeply involved with my children, from homeschooling them, giving them biblical direction, loving and supporting them through their careers, to the pain of losing both of my children. One to a tragic event while serving as a Navy SEAL, and the other, my daughter, to TDS. Both losses have been equally painful.
There are casualties in this fight, including a granddaughter I helped raise and support when she was little.
To everyone out there: You don’t know what the future holds, so hold your family close. To those who don’t know what it’s like to lose your freedom, appreciate it and fight every day for the freedom that the blood of patriots has won for you.
A mother’s worst fear is that her children will be forgotten—especially those who have passed on. Please always remember my son. Pray for my daughter and my granddaughter.
To all the parents whose families are estranged: keep praying and don’t lose hope. I understand your pain today and the pain of loss, whether through death or broken relationships. My heart goes out to you.
Find a way to focus on the happy memories, on the ways you’ve enriched their lives, and be kind to yourself and to those around you.
I love you all. Thank you for your support and for remembering me on my 584th day of incarceration. God bless you. Protect our freedom.
I’m also so grateful to my adopted son Jared and his family, who have stepped up to be my protector. To my dear friend Marcy, who has been there for me morning and night while I’ve been in prison. And to all the patriots who continue to support me financially, spiritually, and mentally.
To all the women who raise children, often thanklessly, you serve one of the most vital roles in our nation. You are one of the greatest forces that shapes our children, our families, and the future that will inherit this country after we are gone.
Happy Mother’s Day.
Tina M. Peters
