this brought tears to my eyes (a very rare occurence!) not just because you can’t keep the scar, and not just because maddie has passed, but because you are so in touch with the reality of your heart. what a gift to be able to know yourself so well. as you have forcefully demonstrated over the years, your resilience is immense, and it is because you can recognize, feel, and vocalize your experience that you are able to not only survive but thrive. thanks for the example.

Oh jeez…from one c-section mama (2 of them) to another w/an induced VBAC in between (before they realized what a risk that was) I COMPLETELY get this – the scar part. They removed my first scar when my 3rd child was born, and I didn’t understand why…

And it’s a good damn thing, because that scar tissue is really a pain in the ass. Trust me.

But yes, we have these “marks” upon us, our bodies – forever etched on our bellies the reminders of the days our babies were born, no matter how far they get from us later on.

Much love to you – and congratulations on your new babe – sweet, sweet Annabelle.

I agree with others, I don’t think is inexplicable at all. I’m sorry they were not able to leave it for you. *hugs*

What a lovely post. Scars are meaningful, no doubt about it. I can empathize with your conflicted feelings about losing Maddie’s scar.

Some of the old scar tissue might be gone, but I think the scar from Binky will still share a lot with Maddie. Because they go in through the same place, it means that Maddie left a pathway for Binky to follow.

And Maddie will never be cut from your heart.

This made me cry… I can totally imagine your pain at seeing that scar go away. Maddie will always be in your heart. She is etched right onto your heart like a scar – only a really GOOD SCAR! Hugs!

I like the idea that Maddie’s scar will still be there, even if it is less visible. Your feelings aren’t weird at all.
