Water beyond the Jungle

My son is now 7 years old. I often paint pictures for him such as the sea world, dinosaurs and dragons.

Even though life has been very difficult when my son was born in the Summer of 2010, I would not change my past.

I am a very proud mum and enjoy every moment with my family.

For all PPP mums out there, - recovery will create a new future!

Lovely painting!

Beautiful artwork.

Brilliant therapy and also your little boy benefits through learning in a fun way from his mummy's artistic skills.

Like you said, lives are changed and very difficult at times. My daughter has a very beautiful little 3 year old boy. He brings such joy and is the one true blessing from the turbulence of this illness.

I have every respect for all you ppp mummies out there.

Dearest flower 12,

thank you so much for your kind words. I am so pleased for you that you've reached 'the other side'...it felt like continuously drowning, but we did it.

I do hope very much that you will be able to find some time for paper and brush...

Look after yourself.

Kind wishes
