Living the Dream - My Child's Perspective

-
Some days ago, my 4 year old son asked me if I'd ever been on TV before. I looked at him, and before I could respond, the Voice of Negativity in my head began its rant with responses like - "you were only in the background of that commercial; it was just a student film; you only made $40 that one time; you haven't done anything that anyone's ever seen so none of it REALLY counts!!!"

At this point, I took a couple of deep breaths, reigned in the Negativity, and simply said, yes that I had been on TV a couple of times. Then my son said, "I wish I could see you on TV Mommy.", and I replied, 'Well, Mommy's working on that."

September is National SUICIDE PREVENTION Awareness Month. I TOOK THIS PICTURE...I took this picture 12 months ago from the recovery room of the hospital where I spent 10 hours waiting to find out if my son would be okay. Waiting to find out when I could take him home. Waiting for answers and filled with a million questions that I didn't have the day before. The next year would only answer some of those questions and we are still "dealing" with it all. Hug your kids, tell them you love them even when they don't want to hear it. Listen, pay attention, watch their friends, be annoying about it. And pray. Pray to whoever you pray to and let's pray for each other. NAMI - National Suicide Prevention Awareness 1-800-273-TALK
