I wrote here back in October about Wade Bowen’s song “Turn On the Lights”, written after his wife’s battle with postpartum depression.   In November, a benefit concert  to raise money for Postpartum Support International was held featuring Mr. Bowen.     As he performed this song, a slideshow played in the background featuring photos of moms, dads, and their children who had been affected by postpartum depression.  

There is a photo of us near the end of the slideshow.  In it, we are walking on the beach swinging G in the air, and I am holding S.  It is so neat to be included in such an event in this tiny way, during this fabulous song.  Seeing the faces of so many moms who had gone through PPD, the dads who were there for them, and the children who are such joys to them now – it was really too much, brought tears to my eyes.

Enjoy…
