According to reports Eminem's mother is dying. Insiders say the superstar's grandmother contacted The ENQUIRER. Reports indicate grandma is begging her grandson to end their bitter 10-year feud. In a heartbreaking public appeal, Betty Kresin is pleading with the singer - whose real name is Marshall Mathers - to get in touch with his mother Debbie, who weighs a skeletal 70 pounds and is too weak to undergo needed open heart surgery. "My daughter Debbie is very sick. Her dying wish is to reconcile with her son and see her granddaughter," Betty Kresin told The ENQUIRER. "It's do-or-die time - and Marshall needs to see her before it's too late." The "Slim Shady" rapper, 36, and his mother, 54, have long had a stormy relationship. He's written songs that are hate-spewing fantasies about raping and killing her - and she sued him for slander in 1999, seeking $10 million in damages. While battling breast cancer, Debbie - who's now in remission - stoked her son's anger further by penning the tell-all book, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem: Setting the Record Straight on My Life as Eminem's Mother. "I heard Marshall was none too happy about Debbie writing the book and rehashing their relationship, or more accurately, lack of one," Betty told The ENQUIRER. "It just reopened old wounds and, in hindsight, I think she regrets it." The ENQUIRER contacted Debbie Nelson by telephone at her home in Missouri on April 13. She could barely speak above a whisper, and said only: "I'm not well."
I only trust that now that over ten years have passed Eminem finds it in his heart to forgive his mother and give her the peace and the forgiveness she so much desire.
