That is absolutely beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes.
My scar is a bikini scar so I can't really take a 'good' picture of it to post. Wish I could though because I am very proud of it.
Thanks for sharing pelagia!

I tried taking a picture of my scar, but it is barely noticable, which I was very suprised after seeing my grandfathers scars from open heart surgery.
