My Mom, Aunt and two young cousins visited us this week. They got here last Sunday and stayed through today. It was such a good visit. Usually they don't stay this long, so it was nice to have extra time with them. They also had time to see Gettysburg and some other local sites here. It was fun. It really made me feel better and made up for the awful time we had when we visited my family last Fall. I also took the whole week off from work! :-)
My aunt is just three years older than me, so we really grew up playing together like sisters. We got to talk some and I found out that she has similar problems with depression. Like me, she had postpartum depression with both her kids! We also talked about my Grandmother (her mother) who had depression and who was abusive. It really was an eye opening talk. I also think that the depression is very much genetic in my mom's side of the family.
MM is trying to get a wound up little boy to go to sleep. My kids LOVED playing with their cousins, and now they are all played out. I am too!!!
