Gentle Landings.

When my friend was pregnant, she was having a hard time with all the weight she had gained. One day, her husband persuaded her to go to the beach for the day. "There, I sat, with my bulges and potbelly," she told me later, "and this gorgeous girl, about 14 years old, walked by in a fluorescent pink micro bikini.And I started to cry."
"When my husband asked what was wrong," she continued, "I said,'Just look at that beautiful teenager. My body will never look like that again.'
"He rolled over and glanced at the girl in pink, and -- here's how I know I have married a special man -- he took my hand and kissed it. 'You know what,darling?'he said. 'Neither will hers'".
