A Mother’s Love – Letter to my daughter: Lifelines

So, one of the effects of pregnancy is something called stretch marks. You will grow to know all about them, and cellulites, and love handles, all these terms used to refer to parts of the body. (You will also learn that none of these are purely related to pregnancy. Some people have them even though they’ve never been pregnant. Why the strong association with pregnancy – beats me).

Anyhow, while many women would rather do away with them and try by all means to get rid of them; I choose to cherish them as my lifelines.

 Lifelines which tell the story of your life; from the time you were conceived you began your journey.

Lifelines which tell a story of your birth, and mine too as a mother.

Lifelines which outline the beautiful life ahead of you. The milestones you are yet to face, and the great victories to achieve.

So, when the time comes, and you realise the greatness in you –

When the world will be smiling at you for the great that you do –

Be sure to remember, YOU MADE YOUR MARK FROM CONCEPTION, and ever since you’ve been destined for greatness. Just ask me and I’ll show you the LIFELINES.

Written with love for my dearest daughter (21/07/2011)

Lady B!
