I love the metaphor between your life (and your mother's) and the art of mending broken pottery without disguising the seams where the breaks occurred. I'm sorry that you have these scars, but I love that you find a way to make them beautiful.

Taking those scars and making something beautiful is the best way to honour ourselves and the journey we've been through, and the only way to fully heal.Malihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928262526502319303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-41013365053158087282015-07-15T19:44:25.032-07:002015-07-15T19:44:25.032-07:00Gah!

I believe that every story deserves to be told. People should not be hidden nor their lives. So this feels right to me on a fundamental level. It is a great gift to children when parents are honest with them about what they value and why they live their lives as they do, instead of trying to promote "normal" which is a slippery concept at best.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129722175911979282.post-89381155954521934522015-07-14T20:10:04.719-07:002015-07-14T20:10:04.719-07:00Wow, your posts are always so eloquent.

Trying to hide them just didn't feel right for us.<br /><br />I am sorry for everything you've been through with your Mom, that must be so hard.

Infertility will always be a small part of our family given that Q will have to know about the DE part of his history, but I hope he sees the beauty in it too.

I was thinking about this lately as most of our friends and family don't know that we are infertile....but when my daughter gets older I would like to talk to her about what we went through to have her and how much she was wanted.Non Sequitur Chicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07268138421234170972noreply@blogger.com
