Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My cousin's lil girl was just a tiny peanut (about nine months old) when this happened:
Cousin's wife is sitting in the kitchen, yakking away about everything. Lots of older aunts and uncles present.
Baby A. was in one of those baby car seat-carrier things, on top of the kitchen table (safe, she was surrounded by caring adults).
Grandma handed her a brand new wooden spoon, both to teeth on and to play with, while lively conversation was continuing.
The baby apparently loved it, her eyes sparkling when people laughed. But when her mother piped up, she got a cross look on her face (cousin's wife has a grating, nails-on-chalkboard sort of voice).
Baby A. looks intently at wooden spoon, considers her next action, and the very next moment cousin's wife opened her mouth, Baby A. bonked her on the head with the spoon....not once, but twice! (How many times I've wished I could do that, myself!)....Well, the kitchen went into hysterics.
Sometimes, it doesn't have to come out of the mouths of babes.....just the simplest gesture will do!
sorry i am just a little overwhelmed right now cause my niece just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and i can't wait to hold him in my arms.......
hug those twins tight for me my friend.....
I am ever so lucky to have these boys in my life and to have Millie, their beautiful kind and caring mother..
