But they stood together, And that's great! ThankYou MikaMom! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertina Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 i didn't notice this thread before, great! thanks for starting it! i met Mrs. Penniman (does anyone know her name?) outside alcatraz in Milan. I started talking with her while waiting for her son to me more 'available' for me to reach...she is quite a sweet lady, very warm and polite...i mean, i am nothing for her, but she stayed with me quite a long time listening to me talking about how much i adore his son (i feel quite ashamed now... ) and that i consider him ' my third son'!!! she was laughing at that! i thanked her for letting us know what a wonderful person his son is... and recommended her to follow him forever... a i did if i were her!!! just to prevent him to meet bad companies...you know how we mother are like...

violet_sky Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Thanks for startig this thread, I'd really like to assent to that statement from the bottom of my heart. Thank you Mrs Penniman, and all Mika's family and friends for your support and for your love. I don't mind if this might sound soppy for I'm convinced that Mika was not Mika without you all. Your actions and decisions made him the person he is today (particularly Mrs. Penniman's very wise decision to prevent her son from having to bend in order to be put on anyone's shelf at an early age was really courageous IMO). Thank you all for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathij0269 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I couldn't agree more. I posted a message to Mika Myspace asking if she would write a book on Parenting. She has been a strong, determined and very caring parent, who has held her family together through thick and thin. Many parents when faced with a dyslexic child would just accept it an go-with-the-flow, but she spotted the creative talent within and nurtured it, for Mika to go from being unable to read or write to penning some of the most touching songs I have heard is a monument to her unceasing determination wanting the best for her kids and encouraging them to blossom in their own directions. At least 2 of her children are creative and that requires empathy and emotion developed from birth. I only hope I can be half as devoted a parent that she is and that someday my children will become the wonderfully, family based, down the earth and talented people that she has produced. Mrs Penniman you are an inspiration - Thank you. Cathi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKateisaKate Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I just think their whole family is awesome, and their bond just seems so great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAK1 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 They seem such a close knit family, which in this day and age is becoming increasingly rare, but so good to see. It is a testament to Mikas mother that this is so. She is a fantastic woman that she has bought up such a great family. Not taking anything away from his dad who himself has been through quite a lot. So many people complain so much about their parents, so it's refreshing when you hear Mika talk about his with such respect, it reminds me of how felt about my mum and dad (god rest their souls). God bless Mikas mum and dad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Sky Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I posted my warm fuzzy thoughts to Mrs P here ages ago, and the post must have got eaten in the move from the old forum to the new!! Oh well. I think with everything she must have been through as a mum, with one of her kids being bullied, having dyslexia, having to take him out of school, and 4 other kids to take care of, a husband who was stuck in Kuwait for so long, etc etc, she has an inner strength we can only admire!! Also bringing kids up in a country that is not your own has its own challenges, and she appears to have done amazingly well. (I am bringing up my 3 kids outside my home country/culture/language, so I know it can be tough!!) I would love to know what she thinks her 10 best decisions as a parent were...maybe we can all learn something from her!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
