Aging

There is a strong urge to fill up my dresser with creams and jells and goo that promise miracles. But Papa loves me just as I am. He says I'm beautiful. The face sags a little in places that used to be firm. The body is a little broken. Some parts ravaged by time and a cancer fought and won. A piece of breast that is no longer there...

Very powerful. You made me cry.

Papa is right, you are beautiful. No amount of cream or goo can possibly make you any more beautiful than you are.
