Heritage and Healing

Shared by: Mikayla

I recently had a miscarriage and soon after found out that I will not be able to have kids.

This was the only time I had ever been pregnant and I’m only 20 years old.

This was my way of reminding myself that I am strong and could make it through this and its my way of remembering my unborn child, also with the candy skull it shows my heritage of being Hispanic so I wanted to wrap my roots of my past with the roots of what would have been my future. . .
