J.K. Rowling sends message of comfort for those missing their moms

J.K. Rowling sends message of comfort for those missing their moms

The bestselling author manages through spread love and comfort with just a single tweet

Even after she blessed the world with the beloved Harry Potter series, author J.K. Rowling is still spreading magic into the world.

This past Sunday was Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom and the award-winning author took time out of her busy schedule to tweet this message of love and comfort.

Today’s Mother’s Day in the UK. If your mum isn’t here to treat, do something nice for yourself, because she’s part of you. Take a hug, too???? — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 6, 2016

 

The mom-of-three gave out advice to her 6.9 million followers, specifically to those who are missing their moms on Mother’s day in the U.K, telling them to “do something nice for themselves since their moms are a part of them”.

Rowling lost her mom in 1990 due to complications of multiple sclerosis. Much like the beloved character she created, Harry Potter, who also lost his mom at a young age. 

She has donated $14 million to the Anne Rowling Regenerative Neurology Clinic at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. The charitable facility is devoted to the treatment of neurlogical conditions, like multiple sclerosis

A collective “awww” rang through twitterverse and in a matter of hours, thousands of people retweeted it. 

Many praised her for the sentiment and shared bits of their stories with her. 

 

@emsler I’m overwhelmed and delighted to hear that and my mum would have been, too! Give your mum my very best wishes xx

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 6, 2016

@LyraMcKee @emsler Oh Lyra… bit wobbly now x ????

— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) March 6, 2016

@thegibosuk I’m so sorry. I remember feeling exactly as you do. I promise it gets better. You don’t get ‘over’ it, but through it. (((hug)))
