I wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. Thank you for the support. Thank you for the love. Thank you.
This week, I had the distinct honor and privilege of being featured on the local 6ABC News in a story about Postpartum Depression.
This came about after posting “The Hardest Post I’ve Ever Written”, about my struggles since giving birth to my second child. It has been a hard time. It has been dark. But the incredible, overwhelming, humbling support I have received has brought me so much light.
You can watch the interview Here.
Featured in the piece are exquisite photos taken by an exquisite human being. Lindsay Docherty came to our house to take family photos. She is a beacon of light and life. Though she may be small in stature, she is mighty, and my children took to her immediately, as they could sense the gentle kindness she possesses. She is beautiful both inside and out and captured some incredible images that our family will cherish always. She blogged our story, and I read it with a full heart and tears streaming down my face. Lindsay danced with us, jumped on the bed with us, got into bed with us as we read a story, and in general, made us feel lucky and loved. She is incredible. So thank you, Lindsay.
I posted yesterday on Facebook to thank my “friends” in general.
I can’t begin to describe my gratitude. I was so scared to come out with my story; to expose my weaknesses, to show and highlight my cracks for all the world to see. But I wanted to help others. And in turn, I have been helped.
So again, I say thank you. To everyone. Thank you for helping me through my journey.
One day at a time, one message of love at a time, one baby giggle or toddler wet kiss at a time…I’m getting there. Thank you.
