This is my Journey Through Depression. Please take time
to read and understand what others such as I have to live, and
go through everyday of our entire life. What you people don't
know is how we feel deep within ourselves. Take time to talk,
listen and learn what depression is all about and maybe the world
will be better for it. It only takes understanding, compassion,
and all of the trust and love you can provide.
WITHIN THE SHADOWS
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was
walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed
scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the
Lord. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he
looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many
times along the path of his life there was only one set
of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life. This really bothered him and he
questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided
to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have
noticed that during the most
troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave
me." The Lord replied, "My son, My precious child, I love you and I
would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried
you."

THE PATH
I begin with a very long path that is wide at the
bottom and develops into a narrow width and disappears over a
knoll. What is on the other side of the knoll for the time being
is still a mystery. As I travel this path, one obstacle after
another seems to come at me from places that I can't see until I
have arrived at my destination.
Life in the beginning is very lonesome, and I was a child who had
to work at helping my parents with the chores, as they worked
from dawn to dusk, in the fields. My parents worked very hard to
share grow a crop of tobacco while I went to school. The path
at that time was not as rough as it could be, considering all of
the challenges I would encounter even further into my life. I Love
my parents, who will be celebrating their 60th. Wedding Anniversary
in another two years.
