From Mom,
It’s amazing to me to see how many people love our child. I’m honored and humbled that it isn’t just our family who is broken over what we are going through. So many of you have gone out of your way by sending cards, cookies, bears, care packages, I’m in awe, and nothing I would say could really express how very grateful we are. Last night I heard someone say that depression is a sickness. That it’s important for people to understand it. We spend so much time trying to figure out how we will explain to others what our child is experiencing. It would be easier to say she had a physical condition. Mental illness is an ugly term. It’s taboo. If we don’t talk about it or say it out loud then it isn’t happening. But it is very real to those families who are affected by it. To those who have lost loved ones to it and to those struggling to figure out how they will learn to live with it….. in spite of it.
Thank you for your concern, for your support, for your thoughts and prayers and for your love.
