Saturday Photohunt: Symbols

Words can be powerful symbols...both of my daughters suffer from depression. Both have gone through some really bleak and hopeless periods, when suicidal thoughts rise to the surface as the only way to escape the black hole in which they find themselves. Thankfully, they have always reached out for help before it was too late. I pray they always will find that tiny spark of light that enables them to hang on in the midst of their darkness. Both of them have tattoos that symbolize life and hope, which I find so uplifting!

Sara's tattoo is a lyric from an album called Into Your Lungs (and around in your heart and on through your blood) by a Newfoundland band called Hey Rosetta!...a reminder to keep breathing when anxiety or depression overtakes her...

Moira's tattoo is also one of her own conception. The word Alive is her reminder that it is good to be alive. And the daffodil is a symbol of new life that reminds her to hold on when all feels hopeless.
