Today.
I want to write about today, because it meant something.
Today I knew.
I drove, the excitement at seeing her bringing tears to my eyes.
I finally admitted it: I've missed her on these long days.
More than that, I know now that I love this.
I tried to fight it for so long, thinking I should be more.
But I shouldn't.
This, right here, is it.
Today, I walked, with her small hand in mine.
We talked, laughed, we looked at the world and its people.
("What's her name, Mummy?" "I don't know." "We should ask her.")
I listened.
("The postie didn't wave to me, Mummy. Now I feel sad.")
That cloudy feeling, it lingered in my head for longer than I cared to admit.
It hid me.
I've missed my little girl.
I missed me, too.
Today, though, I knew.
I'm better.
I knew, and I smiled. I breathed.

wow....this poem is amazing. I loved reading it and feeling the depth that is in it.
Keep writing. It does get better, my son is nearly 21 now and I had pnd too. We are very close now and its a voluntary thing on both sides - the light at the of a once dark dark tunnel:):)

To add my comment to so many already, here I go. This I believe can only be understood by a parent. It is so full of life--real life; life that passes in seconds, minutes, hours, days. Thank you for penning this.
you have a really sweet blog :)
oh, i love this dearly!! how it reminded me of some pictures i've seen!
This is simply incredible.
I love the line: "This, right here, is it."
Because it's so TRUE. This, this moment, *this* is who we are.
I'm new to your blog, but now a loyal follower!!
This was truly tear jerking...I am new to your blog, but will be a devoted follower.
I feel your love with your child...the most amazing thing ever.
