Backstory: My mother was new to internet/e-mail and only learned so she could communicate with me while I spent a year in Nigeria working with Doctors without Borders.
I used the www to find Oprah’s email. I wrote her an email. I explained that I wasn’t just writing to be on the show (I’m sure lots of people do that) but since she was the only person I knew who had been to Africa I wanted to see if she thought you would be safe. No word back…yet.
Love,
Mom
This is my favorite one EVER.

Cool…I love internet and the way we can communicate even if we are so far away!

I can’t believe she actually expects to get a reponse.

Very adorable. I actually had to have a conversation with my mom about why hillary clinton always writes the same thing when she writes back to her, so I understand.
