[QUOTE="witzend, post: 148181, member: 99"] I had a horrible time with depression earlier in my life. It was self perpetuating, and it made me an easy target for abuse. I don't know whether it was years and years and years of therapy, medications, removing myself from toxic people, or a combination of the three, but it came to me that there are many things in life to feel good about if we will only let ourselves. The leaves are coming out on the trees. The hummingbirds come to the feeder I have attached to my picture window. The dogs do what I tell them to (even if no one else does) and love me for it. Someone smiled at me yesterday when I let them into traffic from a parking lot. These are the little things that are there for everyone if they choose to see them. I want you to find them for Amber and share them with her. She will never see those things for herself again, but she's with you and you can make her happy if you will only help her to see. We know that whatever happened in her dying that it was not happy. Help her afterlife to be good. It will make your going on day to day worthwhile. [/QUOTE]
