Damn you red face

I look at myself in the mirror these days and a bright red, bumpy, itchy face stares back at me. It's my rosacea gone bad, a symptom from my lost pregnancy that decided to stick around. It sucks! It's hard to accept when it's the only reminder I have, like a scar that won't go away.


I knew that with every pregnancy my rosacea would get worse. It happened with my mom, so I knew it would happen to me too. But I didn't expect the pregnancy to really bring it out would be the one I wouldn't get to keep. It hurts. Some days more than others but I remind myself of my blessings and emerge out of my sadness.

There will be good days ahead. I can feel them coming around the corner.
