Descriptions:
This blog shares stories, insights, mistakes, and hope. I am discovering ways to let the rollercoaster take off while I remain on the platform. I have come to rely on humor, self-compassion, and allowing myself to be vulnerable when I would rather hide under the covers.

I am writing this blog as a parent of a child who lives with depression. Over the past several years I have witnessed the affect this has had on me, as well as my family. Over time I realized that we are far from alone in this journey. Many families are affected by depression. Too often we suffer in silence and celebrate the joys in whispers.
