The Best Medicine

My daughter was diagnosed with depression when she was only 16 years old, about one year later as we were sitting in the car, she revealed to me that she had been cutting her wrist with a blade, and she was having suicide thoughts, she looked very scared. It was certainly one of the saddest days of my entire life, but I felt proud that somehow she had found the courage to talk to me and tell me about her ordeal, we were able to find help and she is now recovering and getting better each day.But that summer we decided to take a trip to the beach (Ventura Seaward, CA.) to get away from the city. As soon as we arrived, she decided to go in the water by herself and enjoy the waves, I was then able to take a couple of pictures as she was walking and diving in.
