Bellies

Yesterday Facebook reminded me of this belly shot.  This was a little over two weeks before my son was born, nearly five years ago.  I am quite sure this is the last picture of my belly I have, from before he was born, before I was gutted like a fish thanks to cancer, before the new normal.  If I am very, very lucky, in a little over two weeks from now, my anatomy might be in one piece again.  And in another 8-12 weeks from then, I might have an intact belly again.  Never again will it look as amazing as it does in this picture; it will be a whole other kind of amazing.  Fingers crossed.
