A mark for every breath you took, every blink, every sleepy ya...wn.
One for every time you sucked your thumb, waved hello,
closed your eyes, and slept in the most perfect darkness.
One for every time you had the hiccups.
One for every dream you dreamed within me.
It isn't very pretty anymore. Some may even think it's ugly.
That's OK. It was your home.
It held you until my arms could, and for that,
I will always find something beautiful in it.
~ Cassie Fox
This is perhaps the most beautiful picture and ode to a child I've ever seen.
As a mother, I feel deeply every word she said and cannot agree more.
I look at my two wonderful children and am blessed to not only see
them happy and healthy, but proudly wear the marks that remind me
once-upon-a-time, I was part of a miracle.
Four of my wonderful friends feel the same way and we are
proud and honoured to share with you our very own
Badge of Motherhood.

I want to give a huge shout of thanks to my fabulous four who were brave enough to
stand up with me and share with you the place our children dreamed
That kept them safe from harm and nurtured them while they slept
