The Spring Equinox - equal hours of light and darkness. From here on out, the daylight will last longer and longer each day. I'm taking this as a good omen.
Yesterday was a very good day, all in all. Our oldest went to church with her boyfriend and had a pleasant time there. She came home in a good mood - smiling and happy. We all had an enjoyable dinner together. After the table was cleared, she started playing with her younger siblings - laughing and squealing and tickling and having fun. It was an incredible thing to see. Then my husband and I had some errands to run. When we returned home, we found her sitting at the computer ... with her little brother ... helping him with his history fair homework. We almost cried.
What an amazingly good day it was!

I am so happy for you, I do know how you feel.
Part of me is so afraid to think that this is something we are going to be able to put behind us. I just don't know what triggers my daughter's depression, but she is getting better at coping with difficult situations.
Some days are better than others and I still tread very lightly.
Please keep writing, I so look forward to reading your blog!!
I understand that completely. Somedays I tread so lightly around her that I actually find myself holding my breath. Other days, I completely forget that there has ever been a problem. I guess all any of can do is just keep moving one day at a time, one moment at a time.
