Actress and vocalist Kristin Chenoweth says a heart felt goodbye to her birth mother

More proof that blood lines really do help make us who we are

Kristin and Lynn

So much to unpack here but the main thought we have as we share Kristin's story is that blood lines are very relavant to who we are and whom we will become.  Read the touching goodbye from daughter to mother. Fair warning, you may need to bring tissues to this reading. We here at Back Stage News are very happy these two beautiful ladies got a chance to know each other on this earth.

An touching farewell 

The angel that brought me into this world has passed. Her name is Lynn. Aka Mamalynn. The ten plus years I knew her were magic. So many things became clear to me about myself when I met her and came to really know her. Those of us who knew her loved her light. Her love of music and all things artistic. An artist herself! The mother of beautiful Jennifer and darling Chris. Man she loved her kids! In her belly, I became fans of Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan, Doyle Bramhall, Jimi Hendrix, and, of course, Billy Ethridge - my bio dad. The two of them gave me the innate artistic ability I have today. Mamalynn prayed for me every year on my birthday, hoping I was having the most perfect life, which of course, I was. I snuck away and prayed for her too, wishing that someday I would be allowed tell her “thank you.” Which I did on 12/12/12. A beautiful day! We didn’t leave anything unsaid in the end. I will miss her till the end of my days. But then, I will fly into the sky, where she will be waiting to greet me, and she will say, “start singing Babygirl!“ And I will. RIP Mamalynn
