I asked him what he was staring at, and he said this:<br /><br />"I was listening to the radio the other day, and they were talking about women's body parts that women HATE, but men love. Number three on that list was stretch marks." Stunned, I asked him to elaborate. "It's not the stretch marks themselves that are beautiful...it's what they represent. You have those marks because you are carrying my child. They are your war wounds, and they are beautiful."*Lyndseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02692249755522727625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1618559263667408983.post-1362400645216102512011-09-20T18:31:07.968-07:002011-09-20T18:31:07.968-07:00This was SO sweet!
