We are so hard on ourselves knowing every flaw about us. The internal scars may not be seen but their effects are. You husband was right about scares being beauty marks, testiments to our strength and rezilliance. Wonderfully emotional write.

Oh, Linda, you brought me to tears with this. You are a lucky woman to have found such a wonderful man to share your life....and you know what? I think he is equally as lucky to have found you.

Don't worry about the scars because it's the inner beauty that matters the most.

Oh a beautiful write and heart pouring words in
"SCARS ARE FOREVER."
Glad you know that scars are not what makes us
as they say we are our worse critics.

Continued blessings and I enjoyed the read.

Take care,

Dear Linda...dear, dear Linda...
Your words made me cry. I could have penned some of them for it was as if you were writing from my heart. My poem about the same topic is "Mirrors Never Lie." Thank goodness for the man who is your mirror and who loves you enough to share with you the beauty and truth that we all see and know about you.

Love you, my friend!

This is such a revelation that when it sinks in it is like a weight being lifte. When my heart gave in at 45 and I was forced into retirement I felt like a total failure, all my years working, being a father and a husband, a writer and a community volunteer were it seemed to me forgotten and now I was washed up. The worst of it though was I didn't look sick, so people made fun of me for things I couldn't do, for using a disability plate, for not working and of course this made my self esteem dissappear until I was struggling to keep my head from swimming in depression. No one has the right to judge us and yes the scars we bear whether outtside or in are ones we earn.

You know the scars on the outside? Not as painful as those on the inside, for being made to feel less than perfect. None of us is; all of us have our own scars, inside and out. You are gorgeous - in words, in appearance - as a friend and mentor - yes, you. YOU inspire ME. Thank you, Linda. Powerfully penned sadness, with hope at the end - beauty marks. Grab hold of that and never forget it. :)

Oh Linda,

Our mind is so powerful, yet at the same time so vulnerable. Making us see in ourselves what others don't. You have a caring partner who can see the real you; a sweet lady that glows.
