So beautifully touching; and I can relate. 13 years nearly since I first became a mum. And 10 since the second time. All of that. And looking bank the gladness I did. And did not go out dancing. Xx

I had my first son at 34. I found breast feeding the most profound experience and I fed both my sons for a long time. I wish I could express myself like this - instead I’ll just have a quiet cry. They are in their 20s now. I think this is why I am so upset at young women having mastectomies - I hated my breasts until I saw what they could do. I didn’t want children until I was in my 30s. I makes me so sad for these young women - if even one regrets what she has done it is a tragedy. And I fear there will be many more than one.
