Having been through postpartum depression twice before, I never imagined the 3rd time could be any worse….boy was I wrong. Having 2 at home and a newborn was so overwhelming to me. I had tremendous guilt over not having enough time for my girls, as well as not fully giving myself to my newborn son. I didn’t have very many people to talk to or really even know anyone who had ever experienced anxiety and/or depression. On one of my tougher days, the SWEETEST friend I’d ever meet offered to stay at my car with Hunter while I ran my girls into school. (I was actually struggling to get his stroller open…and neither of us could do it. ha ha). The next day she gave me a little care package for the girls and a note with this pendant. Fast forward a few days and she brought us dinner. These acts of kindness were AMAZING and so important in my recovery. Reading the stories and knowing I had someone there for me who understood what I was going thru meant the world. I will never ever forget her random act of kindness and will appreciate our friendship forever. She is truly one of the best people I know…and i’m so thankful for her and the amazing pendant that represents her kindness/friendship to me.
