The best conversations with mothers always take place in silence, when only the heart speaks.  ~Carrie Latet

Meet Nella Cordelia.

Meet Kelle, Nella’s mom.

This is Nella’s birth story

I read this and held back tears (I was in the office) but I was rooting for Kelle and Nella all throughout. There is so much truth in Kelle’s (Nella’s mom) story. The hesitation, the doubt and then the love that comes after discovering that you and your child are one and the same.

The amazing pictures are another thing.

Kelle’s love for Nella is the kind that burns brightly because it is fed by truth and complete acceptance — what a mom’s love is I guess.  I hope that after reading the story that you feel empowered and inspired as I was. I want to go home now and squeeze my son to bits.

Happy Valentine’s!

p.s.  don’t blame me if you end up sobbing ok? ;)
