That's life. It can be hard.
Not many girls her age have to go through that tragedy.
Depends what you mean by "many." Believe it or not, thousands of small children lose a mother every year.
Her father did raise her Catholic and she still says she will always be Catholic.
She can say whatever she wants. However, "Catholics" do not join non-Catholic cults like Kabbalah, denounce the Catholic Church and mock its iconography.
Poor girl lost her mother at 5. Did you?
My mother lost her mother at age 6 to ovarian cancer. Yet my mother managed to be a faithful Catholic, devoted wife and outstanding mother - not a grandstanding, arrogant whore.
We all have tragedies in our lives - those tragedies do not justify vile behavior.
Your right on all counts. Your mother must have had a very strong father where I don't think that Madonna did. My grandmother lost her father at around 5 and she was a complete mess. My poor mother...Your right was all have lessons in life and tragedies, but sometimes it affects other differently. Honestly, I really don't have any real feelings for Madonna because I don't know her at all.
