BREASTS

Yes breasts!
Why do we love them so much?

Song of Solomon 7:8
I said, “I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.” May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples,

Wow isn't that beautiful?

God gave us breasts for 2 reasons: To feed our children and to make men desire them. They are truly beautiful things.

But what happens when cancer takes them from us? Do we feel less of a woman? YES we do!
Some women feel less of a women after a hysterectomy, but no one can see that your uterus is gone, but remove your breasts...and well...just imagine...

Most women lose their breast after the baby feeding time has passed because usually BC hits after child bearing age, So what we have left is the other reason why God gave us those wonderful things. Breasts are wonderful, whether they sag to your knees or not...at the ripe ol' age of 80 men will still desire them.

Losing my breasts was a horrible thing for me to bear 4 years ago now. I remember the last time I made love to my husband before my breast were taken from me, it was the day he returned from an overseas deployment with the Air Force. I tried to imprint the day in my mind, the feeling, everything, becuase soon after this day they would be gone forever.

I never let him see my mastectomy scars. I felt hideous. Since they were removed in 2007 I've never been naked in bed with my husband. Even though he said "honey I"ve seen you naked and I dont' care" I never let him see me from the front.

Now that my re-construction is almost complete I'm feeling better about myself every day. Soon I will have the final touches of my breasts complete. Maybe in 3 - 6 months I'll will look as normal as I can look.

There is something very special about feeling your partner skin to skin....It's been 4 years now and I've missed it.

Don't feel bad for me. Kevin and I still have our intimate moments and he always says "I didn't marry you for your boobs" We have found ways to keep the sparks alive.

Some husbands can't deal with what we've been through, but I know God gave me my husband for a reason. He has been the best throughout this journey.

I love you babe!

I bought a new bra today. a B cup....I used to be a DD..They are still full, but much flatter these days. I'm hoping they settle a little so maybe I can fill a C. But it really doens't matter. I'm here, I will embrace my new breasts and I can't wait to feel my chest against my husband's.
