May is Mental Health Awareness Month. I'm thankful that in the years since I wrote this poem, so much has changed for the better--thanks to therapy, medication, and the tender support of friends.
Those thoughts... I've been there, not right to the edge, but I've thought things that frightened me. I love this poem, nevertheless, Margaret. And the painting. Those colours are my colours!
When loving a child takes you to places you didn't expect.

Thank you, Elizabeth. You always manage to capture the heart of it.
I know those whispers. Thankful you are in a better place.
I hate those whispers. May they never speak to you again 💛.

Thank you, Cesca. I’ve had frightening thoughts as well. It’s so hard.
I love the painting too! I could paper the walls with my kids’ creations 💛—they grab my heart.
Yes. Thank you, Margaret. I’m so happy that things have changed.💛
Wowzers Margaret!!!
