It has been 60 years since her mother passed away.
The post began with Madonna talking about looking back. ‘A trip to my archives is always a nostalgic trip down memory lane!’ began the Borderline singer.
‘If I think about my journey through music over the last 4 decades— how could I not think about all the incredible clothes I got to wear and all the amazing designers I was lucky enough to work with!’
She then focused on her own difficult childhood in Michigan.
‘When I was a little girl I remember my mother was always cold.Partly because she was sick but also because she never had a coat,’ said the Rebel Heart hitmaker.
‘She always spent what little money we had on our coats and I remember standing outside waiting for the schoolbus With my mother shivering in the cold in the middle of winter!!’ added the cover girl as her post turned from nostalgic to heartbreaking.
Madonna then acknowledged her own wealth.
‘Years later when I became successful my mother’s sister said to me, “Now You can buy all the coats your mother couldn’t buy for herself!”‘ wrote the Grammy winner.
