@Glisten I adore pluviophile - what a delicious word.

My words are  ache and resentment- ache for the children I couldn't birth and the God children taken from me.

Resentment for being made to feel like a lesser female because I didn't have kids and toward the person who tore my relationship with my God kids apart.

Ache is a word I can feel and touch and picture in my mind.

And circumlocution!

@ENKELI  a pox on any person who thinks the value of another is in a body part.

Never leave a stone in your shoe.

Hey @ENKELI 💜🌺🙂

yes; your words resonate with me very much 💜

I haven’t been able to have children despite trying several times, due to a significant injury..I was also made to feel something much lesser than the value of a wife or a woman would be if she could carry children, for some decades. 

I’m very sorry that the word ache is palpable in the ways you have explained… hugs.. I do understand 💜🫂

The word I really like is mitochondria… this little bit of cell is unique, and very special in its action, providing fuel while listening in to the rest of the body, regulating metabolism in harmony with a variety of systems in the body. 
And I think it sounds kinda cool to say hehe ☺️🌺

@PinkFlamingo you really are a wingless angel. I always feel better after reading your posts.

Mitochondria, great word. The meaning makes the word larger than life 🥰

@Glisten hugs and huge blessings my fellow Westie. May your weekend be filled with pain free love and joy, as you deserve.

Hey there @ENKELI 🙂🌺

thank you kindly - I’m really glad to hear that 💜🌺🤗

Yes indeed; mitochondria are special little tiny bits of stuff that work magic, that’s for sure! 🙌🏻☺️

@PinkFlamingo @ENKELI  not to be confused with Star Wars midichlorian.

Mitochondria - The gift from your mother that keeps giving.

@PinkFlamingo @ENKELI 

I just want to say that you're no less than any other female just because you did have children. 

I know how hard it has been losing your God Children @ENKELI 

You both are two very wonderful and special people, especially to me. 

Word of the Day for me is worthy. 

We should all feel worthy of love, support and kindness.

Haha - yes, @Glisten , I could do with a few midichlorians every now and again! 🙌🏻😁

@ENKELI ☺️

Yes indeed, mitochondrial dna is inherited from the mother due to fathers mitochondrial dna being broken down after fertilisation via the process of mitosis. 

I can’t really remember clearly these days, however I think it’s got to do with how unique the mitochondrial organelle is, along with the fact that it originates from external to the host: once were bacteria… now they are part of us 🙂🌺
