That Day, The Sneetches Forgot About Stars - #YesAllSneetches

I am a 5'8" 155 lb 38 year old woman.  I've had three children.  I have scars, both from the C-Sections that brought my children into the world and from numerous surgeries from my car accident.  I have stretch marks.  I have lived.  My body has enjoyed carrying three children.  I proudly wear the stretch marks that they gave me.  My body has been cut open to bring them into the world.  I celebrate the scar.

A car accident has resulted in several repairs to my leg - scars on my thigh, my knee and my ankle.  A leg that carries me through life.  A leg that helped me to carry my three children while they were growing inside me.  And a leg that supports me when I lift them for hugs.
