Hi everyone. I'm new to the community. This is my first post. I have battled with depression for many many years now. When my daughter came into my life I felt nothing but true unexplainable happiness. I mean to look at her beautiful face everyday, is to smile. She warms my heart, and I am complete. She tells me she loves me everyday and hugs me and I feel like the most needed person in the world. For her to do these things is unbelievable because she was diagnosed with autism. At first she seemed "normal" then she started to regress. She didn't want me to hug her and she didn't want to look me in my eyes. I felt so depressed because I felt like, "why me? what did I do to deserve this?" But because God knew that I needed my daughter more than she needed me, He helped me to teach my baby to show and receive love. He also taught me patience and He gave me strength and hope when I thought all was lost. God definitely works in mysterious ways because, you know, she was actually an unplanned pregnancy, and I was thinking about terminating that pregnancy. She's definitely the best thing that ever happened to me. I thank God for picking me out of all the people in the world to take care, and teach and love the little girl named Tiahna. I know for sure, that I would not be breathing today if it wasn't for that little girl in my life. She means more to me than she will ever know. As I was typing this, as the tears are steadily rolling down my face, I think I had a break through.... My daughter is my guardian angel taking care of me when I thought she was sent here for me to take care of her....
