    Dear Kanye,

    First I would just like to say I am deeply sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. You know God is good and His mercy endures forever, He is with you Kanye through your time of sorrow, listen to His voice. Often times we forget why we are here and that we are just passing through, and that we don’t know how or why things happen the way that they do, but just remember the legacy left by your mom is more valuable than gold. She is still with you in a deeper way, listen to her voice you will hear it because she will forever be in your heart. I am a mother and watch you perform and how you present yourself, I think you are a very confident young man and that you know who you are which intimidates a lot of people. The media can sometimes be very unemotional an always looking for a way to capitalize on someone else’s pain. Keep your head up Kanye and know that this is your time, this is your season be blessed.

  9. Salaheddin [Nov20] :

    Yo Kanye I was here in last concert in Paris…

    Cette scéne à été emouvantes pour toute les perssones présente au Zénith,
    Ta tristesse ma boulversé Soit fort mec reste t’el que tu est perdre une mére ça n’est pas rien.
    Ton concert à été exceptionnel et ta prestation tout autant.
    Peut - être que je suis ton plus grand fan ta musique est une source de joie
    journaliére pour moi…

  10. Attorneymom [Nov20] :

    Kanye, I am glad to know that it was your decision to continue touring. I am still praying for you. Only God can get you through this one.

    I pray that you allow the Holy Spirit of comfort to provide comfort to you as you learn to live without your #1 fan.

    What don’t kill you will definitely make you stronger.

    I am now reading your mother’s book which seems to be a love letter written to you. Wow, what a blessing to have your mother’s love memorialized in book forever available for you to read at any given moment. Most people are not fortunate to have such a powerful and concrete expression of love.

    Take care.

    Sincerely,

    Attorneymom

    Kanye, stay strong man, what doesn’t kill you can only make you stronger.

    right?

  13. peezy [Nov20] :

    man that was powerful and gave me chills, Kanye you are a strong humanbeing, please stay that way

  14. Nikki [Nov21] :

    Honestly Im so damn proud of Kanye, he’s handling his self very well, and he’s honoring his mom’s wishes and her memory. He’s being as strong as he can be, and I got alot of respect for him after seeing this video. People just need to back tha fuck off and stop trying to be so critical of him. The media dont know him personally or what kind of person he is, but always quick to call him a self righteous asshole. Like Ye said FUCK THA MEDIA! All I know is I got Ye’s back, and so does CHI CITY! Now is the time to help him through this tragedy tho, not bash him, so i really pray the media is givin him a damn break.

  15. bee [Nov21] :

  18. giv [Nov21] :

    Who sings in the end ? (what song?)

  19. Lisa G [Nov21] :

    Kanye,

    Prayers are all around you. Look to the hills from which cometh your help your help is from the Lord. When you have that alone time and your mind starts to think of your mom. Always remember that she was a blessing. No one in this entire world can replace her. Take your time and miss her, but continue to live. When you start your own family tell your children how a wonderful person your mother was. Keep your faith in God you will see her again. I wish you well and much happiest in your career and private life ……

  29. Mr. LaVert Foote [Nov29] :

    I’m LaVer Foote. On behalf of the passing of your mother, please except my sincere and deepest sympathy to you and your family. My heart and prayers are with you all, Mr. West I truly understand your pain and how you must feel. I lost my mother 1yr. 6mos ago June 1,2006 and I’m also and only child so please know that your not alone. My mom was my ”mother queen”, my best friend, my confidant and greatest inspiration I had thirtysix great years with her and I treasured every one of them. I can tell by your acknoledgement of her in your music yo did the same. My best advice to you is take it day by day, and remember the speacial times the two of you shared for she’s now resting with our holy father above doing his will. Never forget she’s always going to be with you everywhere you go in spirit and soul, watching over you each and everyday. Please remain strong and keep praying to God for strength and wisdom. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. God bless you once again you have my deepest, sincere, sympathies from Mr. LaVert Foote

  31. Pauline [Dec05] :

    So soryt to hear about the passing of your mother. My prayers and sympathies to Kanye and his family. I have a poem that was given to me and now I am sending it to you. It’s called A Mother’s Love

    There is no love, like a mother’s love no stronger bond on earth.. like the precious bond that comes from God to a mother when she gives birth.
    A mother’s love is forever strong, never changing for all time… and when her child needs her the most, a mother’s love will shine.
    God bless these special mothers, God bless them every one.. for all the tears and heartache, and for the special work she’s done.
    When her days on earth are over, a mother’s love lives on.. through many generations, with God’s blessings on each one.
    Be thankful for your mother, for she loves with a higher love… from the power God has given, and the strength from up above.

    Stay strong Kanye - Your mother loved you dearly.

  32. Josh [Dec08] :

    I feel bad for Kanye on loosing his mother but i still hope he looses all the nominations. He has no real talent and the only reason he was even nominated is because they all feel guilty for him. I am sure when he does loose yet again he will express his feelings by stomping around and acting like a child which is usually how he handles things. Just wish he would act like a man and show the people that won the respect they deserve. What do you say Kanye, lets be an adult this time?

  33. samora [Dec08] :

    stay strong
