Today is my little girl's sixth birthday. Every year I look back and reflect on her birth. I'm sure this isn't uncommon for most mothers, but for me, it is a special day that I celebrate just for me in my own way. For this is the day I felt I became a successful mother, even though she is my second child.
I don't think I can put it into any better words than what I wrote three years ago on her third birthday. I just reread it again today and once again, it brought tears to my eyes. I like to remember. It brings back so many good memories and emotions.
If you are wondering what I am talking about, take a minute and click here to read my words. It changed my life and maybe it will yours.
Smiles,

Your letter is beautiful. I wish I had had a clue about post-partum depression before I started having kids. No one ever tells you that you might not feel that instant in-love bond with your newborn. I thought something was wrong with me. Thank you for being brave to talk about it and share your experience so that others don't have to feel so alone.
