It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. What are the words this picture paints? Happiness? Attachment? Pride? Joy? Blessedness? Yes, a thousand times, yes. But the story is deeper than this picture has the ability to tell. This picture cannot tell the viewer of the pain this young mom feels on a daily basis. There is no mention of the guilt, the fear, the helplessness and hopelessness that comes along with a daily struggle with postpartum depression. I am not making this blog very public, yet... perhaps one day I will have the strength and courage to share these thoughts with others. For now, though, it will be a place for me to write my thoughts, to have a place to scratch my way through the hard times, and the beautiful ones.
