A story I wish weren't true.

(First, Wendy, THANK YOU for the virtual gift. You made my day brighter. Much love to you. And to the rest, who responded to my last post, THANK YOU. I'm doing better most of the time, and I'm far from where I was then. Rainkatt ... wow.)

Now.

Something Like Falling

I love that baby now, and maybe that's all that matters.

I love him from the top of

This is beautiful.

I never had PPD, but I know it's a real thing. You've given me a whole new understanding about what it might feel like.

And I have a whole new respect for how you've managed to keep on loving that baby boy throughout it all. He's a great kid, due in no small part, to you.

*hugs*

I can't believe our baby boys are going to school - LBB starts the day after Labor Day - yikes!

Hi! I've been meaning to get back to you from your sweet comment on my blog. Thank you for reading this, and for your understanding. It's not an easy thing to understand, I know, and now I've been on both sides.

I can't believe they're starting school either! So far so good here. I hope LBB loves it. We start so early here; Mini's first day was last Friday.

(((hugs)))

It's always great to hear from you.

What a great story with a beautiful ending, thanks for sharing. Glad to hear that you, hubby, Mini and the new one are all doing well.

Thank you, Petzi! I've missed you. =)

Lovely, painful, sweet, true.

Real.

Thanks, for this glimpse into your loving soul.

K, thank you so much. The true stuff is the hardest to write, but sometimes you just have to get it out there, ya know? I hope life is treating you as wonderfully as you deserve.

(((hugs)))

I can't imagine the strength it must have taken to get through that. To continue to get through it. In the middle of feeling guilty for what you *didn't* do, don't forget to feel proud of what you *did*, and continue to do.

Love you :)

And I can't believe he's five! Wow, how time flies. New vid soon?

[boschette]

Thank you so much. You have no idea how much those words help, because even though the wounds have healed, there's still some scars that need a little attention every now and then.

I will post pictures of both kiddos soon; maybe tomorrow. You will not believe how big he's gotten!

That was beautifully written. Sad at first for you and how you were feeling, but uplifting because you got through it and are able to love them both so much.
God bless, hon.

Same to you, and thank you for your kind words. It's something I'm not ashamed of anymore, because no one asks for PPD, it just ... is. And it's horrible. And I wish I could help every single woman who has to deal with it.
