"Post Birth Mother Depression"

Because we were touched by the sacrifice of our dear, sweet birth mother, we will never look at life the same.  When we look into the eyes of our little one, we are reminded of her love...her love for her child.  We are also reminded of her belief in us.  We are reminded of her drive to do what she felt she had to do for the child she loved no matter how painful it was for her...no matter how sad it was for her.

There are MANY times that Bryan and I both weep for her.  We weep over the sweet things that we are so privileged to witness that she is missing.  We cry over the memories that we are making with Myla that she is not able to experience. 

I have found that there are days that I have "post birth mom depression".  During these moments, I ache for our birth mother.  I have a feeling of loneliness for her.  I feel sad that she can't be a part of this truly amazing little creation that I have in my arms...my heart. 

 I cry when I share our story of meeting her.  I cry when I think about her sweet, sweet spirit and contagious smile.  She was one of those people who smiled and laughed even though her heart was breaking.  She was a strong spirit who bit the bullet to do what she needed to do for the child she carried.
