We give up little bits of ourselves to the people and animals and places we love” and they changes us.
After we lost Oliver, I thought and rethought getting a tattoo to carry him with me always. But no image or words seemed to fit. And then I read about Fetal Microchimerism, how a mother’s cells are altered during each pregnancy, and that impact can last for decades. And I immediately knew that I didn’t need to add anything to my body for him to be physically present with me. And that was so comforting and powerful. The love we share definitely changes us…💜
Ughhh! I love this, Valerie. Such a beautiful way of thinking though life, grief, love, and the persistence of those who change us! Sweet Oliver, literally imprinted in you always!
“You loved that into me” - so beautiful. So true, we absorb them into ourselves- our loved ones- that they become a piece of us…. 💕 love this so much Jesie.
Nothing profound to say...just, I love this.
Thank you, Gwendolyn. ☺️

Oh yes, Lesli! They become pieces of us, and then we change entirely because of them. What a gift to be so changed by love!
