She Always Thought Mom Chose To Leave

[link removed]

“It took me many years to forgive my mom and really have a good relationship. It was nothing but the Lord that healed that part [of me] and showed me how to give grace to her.”
—Marcella

“I didn’t understand,” Marcella says about her mom being gone. “Every year it was like, ‘I’m coming home this year,’ but then, ‘No, I’m not going to be able to come.’”


Her mother ended up spending nine years in prison. Marcella felt abandoned and unloved. But one year, a spark of hope came to her when her aunt took her to church, and Marcella saw what was on the Christmas tree: an angel tag hanging above a present from her mom.


So much in Marcella’s life had changed, but a gift from her mom brought back a sense of normalcy. Although Marcella’s mom was not coming home for Christmas, she still sent a gift—thanks to Prison Fellowship Angel Tree(R) and the generosity of a local church.


That gift meant a connection. Marcella and her mom had a long journey ahead before true reconciliation could take place. But the journey began with that angel tag and Christmas gift.
