I have quite a few sets of stretch marks on my body but there's one set in particular that is set apart from the rest. These hold a place in my heart that no other love before or after can compare. Loss is a deep thing, something that you never get over, you never get past, you just learn to live with it each day. You learn to live with that deep longing, that ache, that missing part of your heart and soul. Only memories and emotions survive loss. At times I wonder if that's a good thing. . .if there were a way out, a way to numb the pain, would I take it? Would it be best to have experienced it and then put in a box to never be remembered againâthe pain would be taken away, the memories, the love and the joy, it'd be like wiping the slate clean. . . But then. . . No. I wouldn't want that, the memories of her are all of have, the moments we shared, the smile that she brought to my face daily, hearing the beat of her heart and feeling the kick of her foot or punch of her hand âI don't want to forget that, to bury that. Therefore I embrace the pain of her loss because even though my heart aches for her, nothing can compare to the 7 brief months that we shared together. The day I saw her for the first time, the day I held her in my arms, the day I saw and touched her hands and feet, the first time I felt her kick, the first time I felt her move âthese moments, these memories are irreplaceable. . .Kae is irreplaceable. So I will cherish these stretch marks, these special marks because she blessed me with them, she tattooed me in remembrance of herself, she left her mark on my body and soul. She will live on in my heart forever. Kae baby, Mommy loves you! "Memories don't live like people do, they'll always remember you, whether things are good or bad it's the memories that you have. . ." ⢠⢠⢠Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers that have experienced lossâmiscarriage, stillbirth, crib-death, etc. I celebrate you as well, we are still mothersâwe carried them, fed them, loved and cared for them unconditionallyâlet no one tell you otherwise! #rip #restinpeace #daughter #love #loss #kaela #ripkae #mom #miscarriage #stillbirth #mother #mothersday #happymothersday (at Batts Rock Bay)
