I used to be fairly pretty…

…then I got sick and injured for a year.

And now I look like this:

(This is actually a pretty flattering photo.)

(I wish I was kidding about that last thing.)

    You will get there again. You’re made of strong will, it may take a while, but you’ll get there.

      I think your husband’s quote is perfect for this post as well: ““Well you won’t always be. And I (we) don’t want to miss out on how it all turns out.”

    You’re always stunning. And just some of it has to do with the skin-deep kind. xo

    i mean, you know this cliche’ but inside beauty is far more important and of greater value…which YOU HAVE in abundance in addition to strength and courage, also in abundance. Now, red eyes aint nothin’ a lil maybelline can fix, and even so, your still a hottie. hugs & prayers, grace.

    Being male it kind of feels weird commenting here, but what the hey…

    You have the strength to keep fighting, it doesn’t get more beautiful than that. Don’t worry, the physical part will come back as you heal.

    With much respect,

    You are still lovely, and besides, inner beauty is what counts in the long run anyway.

    We think you’re beautiful inside. Take a shower, wait a bit, hopefully you’ll start looking better to yourself as well.

    *hugs* You will be back to your gorgeous self :) I know how very much it sucks. I have had longish term injuries and illnesses too. But we all know what you are like when you are healthy. So, good wishes!

    I have a photo that I had hubby take after treatment one day. It is ugly. I am ugly. Cancer is ugly. Sometimes life is ugly.
    BUT….
    I keep that photo close so that I can look at it and see where I have been and remember where I am going.
    You, my friend, are the furthest thing from ugly. Your spirit and personality far outweigh the wear that illness and sorrow leave. You are beautiful, inside and out. Remember that some days, (and weeks and months for that matter) are going to be hard, but you have already conquered so much. Your beauty radiates.
    Be kind.

    I think you are beautiful, but I guess you’ve heard that already. What, you haven’t? Then start listening! :)

    Also, I didn’t comment on you last post as it was really late when I read it and I couldn’t put into words what I was thinking then, but here goes: You are one of the strongest women I know, you have an amazing husband and family, and you will be all that you are meant to be. I continually (along with others of your friends and readers) pray for you for strength, courage and love. I think you already have them, but a little more won’t hurt. :)

    You are with here, with your family and friends. Isn’t that the important thing? You are improving each day.

    Well I still see YOU! Pretty is skin deep and fades for all of us. Beauty is in the soul and baby, you got it. HUGS!!
