Stamp out infertility
There are times when I can actually feel a baby in my arms resting on my chest. At first, it's comforting and warm. I can feel her head cradled in my protective hand and my lips kissing her soft head. And then I take a breath and as my lungs fill with air and my chest rises, I feel the heavy emptiness. Sometimes when we're in bed I imagine him in between us. I see my hand stroking his tiny back. The pain of infertility is so palpable for me. The air is thick and I feel as though someone is seated on my neck.
Seeing this stamp reminded me of that feeling.

Mmmm, when I saw that stamp, I thought maybe the artist really knew... just knew. It says it all doesn't it?
Wow. That's just...wow
Wow is right. What a beautiful and heartwrenching description.
That stamp is an excellent depiction of what it really feels like.
Wow, what a beautiful post. The stamp holds so much, the emptiness, the hope. It's just beautifully put.
