I don’t have children. Not by choice. My body decided it would not allow me to carry any pregnancy to term, so I have been through multiple miscarriages. This Mother’s Day, I am celebrating anyway for the children I lost. ❤️

I always loved this portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, by @mariotestino . From the beginning, the only reason I was interested in the British royal family was Diana. Now, I'm only interested in Harry, Meghan, and their children.
