Hello Ellen,
Just wanted to say Thank you!! I am 27 weeks pregnant and in the hospital for the remainder of my pregnancy. If it were not for you I am not sure I would get thru it. I look forward to watching you everyday. I was working prior to being admitted, so I never got to watch tv. I also have a 2 year old at home, so all we would watch is cartoons when we did. But being in the hospital it makes me have something to look forward to other then counting down the weeks I still have to go. Thank you again!

I KNOW HOW IT IS TO WISH UPON SOMETHING SO HARD AND WAITING TO GET IT.. I KNOW.. BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WISHING SO LONG FOR MY MOM TO GET HER WISH .. TO BE WITH THE LOVE OF HER LIFE.. ESPECIALLY NOW SINCE HE IS GOING THRU A ROUGH TIME IN HIS LIFE.. LOST OF A PARENT.. MOM WISHES SHE COULD BE THERE TO HELP HIM OUT AND TO HELP HIS MUM OUT TOO.. SHE KNOWS HOW HARD IT IS ..SHE HAS BEEN THRU IT.. NOW I WISH SO HARD THAT MY MOM WILL BE THERE FOR HIM AND HIS MUM.. I KNOW HE LOVES MOM AND I DO BELIEVE SO MUCH THAT SHE LOVES HIM.. I CAN NOT AFFORD MOM TO FLY THERE TO BE WITH HIM.. HE IS SO BUSY WITH TAKING CARE OF THINGS THERE .. MY MOM IS THE BEST MOM. ALWAYS PUTTING OTHERS FIRST .. NEVER PUTTING HERSELF FIRST. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ME AND MY BOTHER AND NOW IT IS STILL ME MY BROTHER AND GRANDKIDS AND OTHERS.. NEVER ONCE IS IT HER... NOW I WISH I WISH I COULD GIVE MOM HER WISH AND HER PRAYERS.. ELLEN SHE WATCHES YOU ALL THE TIME WHEN SHE IS HOME FROM WORK.. SHE LAUGHS AND CRYS WITH YOU ..SHE THINKS YOU ARE A SUPER DUPER PERSON.. SHE IS RIGHT TOO.. THANKS ELLEN.. I LIKE YOUR SHOW TOO.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS..
My Mom always said "If you replace the words Can't won't don't and counldn't with CAN you can have anything" I'm hoping she's right, I'm hoping for the Yukon. I will be by the hone all day Saturday. It will changes the lives of myself, my husband and our children. Gas prises are killing us. We have children with so many activities and to and from School. I spend over 110.00 a week on gas. We just can't afford it. I put 17,000 miles on my husbands car last year. I have to take him into work @ 4:30 to keep the car and my last kid pick up is 7:15 . I'm a tired Mommy, but it's my job. I might get more sleep if we had a second car that was an automatic. We have to share on as mine is a stick shift and I got burnt in an apartment fire leaving me with the use of only 7 fingers. My family was out safe, but I went back in anyway to put the fire out so people on both sides and below us didn't get hurt. I ask myself everyday, would I have done anything differently if I knew this would happen and the answer is NO! People could have gotten hurt, but I have to tell you, my poor hubby is working his butt off to pay for all this GAS. It's 4.17 Today and rising!
My wife and I have just had our 2nd baby boy named Kyle (1st boy is named Tyle 14 month) Kyle is having his 3 week birthday today and he's doing great! We really enjoy the show and watch everyday
Thanks for all you do Ellen
Hi Ellen,
I love how you make people's wishes come true and the look on their faces is just priceless when they realize that their happiness has been accounted for by a complete stranger. My boyfriend has always been there for me through everything from my grandmother dying to monetary issues. He has never had anyone go out on a limb for him before I came along, and I asked him to marry me just to show him that he was worth a bold move. We are doing our wedding on a very tight budget, which I can pull off easily, but we will not have enough money for a honeymoon. Please help, Ellen, and give my boyfriend the honeymoon he deserves. I only hope I can be the wife he deserves as well. Thanks.

Hi Ellen
I'm writing to you because our local camp for kids just got vandalized and they striped the copper pipes. This is a summer camp for low income kids and emotional kids. It's a free camp for them. Area school nurses, etc. pick kids to go to this camp. They have a website. camplookout.org. take a look at the site. They need help to reopen this camp for these kids.
Sincerely, Terry Hawk

Hi Ellen, I've been watching your show everyday for a year and it amazes me how you always outdo yourself. You are truly a wonderful person. I hope that someday I can make it to a live show. Keep doing what you do. much love, Harold
It is always good to be a positive thinker,after all no-one likes a pessimist! Positive power is stronger than we realize and a great way to boost your life. We all have to put one foot in front of the other everyday as we go about our lives and as long as we are positive.
I just wanted to say how generous and wonderful Ellen is and her positive outlook on life reflects in her actions and those that want to be around her. She is always looking toward the positive of every situation and I look forward to seeing and hearing Ellen every morning and I hope one day soon, I will be able to get tickets so I can go to the show!
I know how Kensie feels, and I am so happy for her to start her young adult life with people helping make some of her memories good ones. I have a similar condition. I used to go to a website trying to work my way through illness, and I finally thought I had better stop before someone else put 2+2= more than you had wanted to think about. Kinsie's problem may be from the area she lives in, or from her school. I found out about a lot of things and have been asking for help from the government to move away. I wish too. I wish for a place to live and grow a lot of hay, feed the horses. The horses are my source of joy-and there isn't any hay left around here. Someone please say a prayer for my horses before they end up somewhere that people don't care about them. Ellen-can you talk to Willie for me? I can't find a way to contact him. Sometimes life is so hard, but with friends, and with a wish in your heart-maybe wishes come true for some of us. And Kinsie-you are a beautiful young girl. Wear the most soft cottons or satins to help relieve the pain. A neurologist may have something that can help with that. A don't forget your beautiful voice, and your friends, and Ellen-it is a real blessing to have someone like her to be your friend. Very gentle hugs to you.
I believe in Faith and Hope that I will beable to pay my bills every month...Still struggleing at 55 and two years left to pay on my house. I got a big 8 hours in this week and 4 last week...
I wish for more hours or a wind fall, Have a beautiful day and may all your Wishes come true. Carmen from Mpls,Mn....

I have wished and it came true and then wished I didn't wish!! LOL
Kinsy!!! What happens to us prepares us and we don't know at the time.. but you have come out above it.. risen above it... better than it.. stronger.. wiser for the better and it shows! Not only have you touched Ellen in a special way.. I'm sure you've touched a lot more especially now that your famous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ellen!!! You ROCK! I love how your so nice and loving... you are an inspiration and you bring a positive television/comedy hour to me and the world every day.. I am truly blessed to be able to watch you on tv... you read one of my letters & I got the t! LOL I like to watch entertaining knowledge gaining positive shows and your one that I would be missing a lot if you were not you!
Look forward to the country music awards!!! I don't know much about the disease and will probably google later when I have more time and I think we should find a cure for it. Is there a foundation???

Ellen,
The Mothers Day show was great, I'm glad I got to see it, it was my present.My three children dont give me anything for mothers day unless I give them money to go buy it. We have no family or grandparents or fathers in the picture to take them out and buy for me. I've never gotten flowers or cards in the entire 16 years of motherhood. I envy moms who do because I see the moms happy and that makes me happy. I do get hugs and kisses and a scorched frying pan of scrambled eggs once in a while. My children are my gifts, like the mom you had today; she tried to get pregnant and got twins , same thing here. My ex husband and I tried for two years and after prayer we were finally blessed with twin girls; Rachel Faith and Catherine Rose Hope. Only to be asked for a divorce in the recovery room on the day of their birth. On the first Mothers Day with them I was served divorce papers. It did spoil the following ones for about 10 years and now I look on this day as a blessing to me and other women out there that should be blessed for what they brought into this world, I just hope they continue to care for what they brought into the world and love enough to teach them to be wonderful people and parents someday.
I love you Ellen and I wish you a wonderful mothers day, Pets count as babies too. I have 6 of them four legged babies.
To All Mom's "Happy Mother's Day"
