I didn’t really understand what “beautiful” was until I brought two baby girls into this world. As I look at Lulu’s dimply thighs, Gigi’s mole above her right eye and their soft, round bellies, it breaks my heart to think that they would ever look at these physical characteristics and think they were anything but beautiful, let alone to loathe those things about themselves, as I did. The love that my daughters ooze with every smile, every laugh and every joyful moment of their lives transcends the physical. And when people say my girls look like me, I look at those thighs, moles, bellies and smiles and proudly say, “I know.” They are simply beautiful.
