#109

Christy

“I bought this pendant for myself. As a mother of 3 kids under the age of six, you can imagine my life is full of distractions. I wear it because it is a constant reminder to always put God first no matter what. This gives me strength as a mother and wife on a daily basis. I will absolutely pass this on when the right person comes along that may need it more than I do.”

“Struggling to find my way through the newborn stage with my third baby (all 3 and under) along with learning to find services and acceptance of my middle son’s Austism, I was not only sleep deprived, but lost. Since my mother’s passing two years ago, I rarely have prayed. But I was desperate. I vividly remember standing in my bedroom, crying and praying that God would give me the strength to get through this hard time. I walked out of my bedroom and on the doorstep was a package from a very sweet and dear friend with my necklace #109. It reminds me daily that I am enough for my kids and that I can be the Mom they need me to be. I hope one day I can pass it along to someone who needs it as much a I did.”

Having been through postpartum depression twice before, I never imagined the 3rd time could be any worse….boy was I wrong. Having 2 at home and a newborn was so overwhelming to me. I had tremendous guilt over not having enough time for my girls, as well as not fully giving myself to my newborn son. I didn’t have very many people to talk to or really even know anyone who had ever experienced anxiety and/or depression. On one of my tougher days, the SWEETEST friend I’d ever meet offered to stay at my car with Hunter while I ran my girls into school. (I was actually struggling to get his stroller open…and neither of us could do it. ha ha). The next day she gave me a little care package for the girls and a note with this pendant. Fast forward a few days and she brought us dinner. These acts of kindness were AMAZING and so important in my recovery. Reading the stories and knowing I had someone there for me who understood what I was going thru meant the world. I will never ever forget her random act of kindness and will appreciate our friendship forever. She is truly one of the best people I know…and i’m so thankful for her and the amazing pendant that represents her kindness/friendship to me.
