A letter addressed to all mothers "everywhere in the world," written on Mother's Day, comes from the woman known as the " forest mother ," separated from her children, who are being cared for in a secure facility in Vasto, in the province of Chieti, for nearly six months. The message, published by ilcentro.it, comes at a time made even more delicate by the hospitalization of one of her children , during which the mother reports she was unable to stay with her child at night.

"Today," Catherine writes, "is not a happy day for this mother and her mother. I longed for the arms and warmth of my children around me and their father. I find myself having to leave my little girl in a hospital bed without the ability to give her safety and love while she suffers. No child should be torn from their home and family. If a child is suffering or a family is struggling, they should be helped, not destroyed."

"Today," Catherine continues, "I'm living far away from my children after nine years of raising our family. Nathan and I send you our love and gratitude for what you're doing to bring our children home."
