I stumbled upon this image on WeHeartIt a few days ago and it absolutely stopped me in my tracks. The scar that is depicted is the result of surgery that was done to correct the way this mother's c-sections healed internally. The photo was taken by her husband (you can explore his photostream here).
I wince looking at that painful wound, and yet I am so moved by the tenderness of the little girl, and the beautiful connection between mother and child. What an amazing testament to motherly love and the courageous lengths that we all go to to bring our babies into the world (no matter how they arrive).
