Some infants have a red birthmark on the back of their neck called a stork bite, and other newborns have a red birthmark on their forehead or nose called an angel kiss. Before my baby came into my life, I had never heard of either, but he had both.
Which myths, legends, or wives’ tales exist in your family, community, or culture? I would adore to know!
(Selecting the cheerful/lighthearted flair here because it seems most fitting?)
At nearly ten months old, my child still has a noticeable stork bite on the back of his neck, however, it appears to be less severe.
It was explained to me that it was a kiss from a departed loved one. He almost didn’t make it, and I decided to think that my friend, who passed away at a young age, took care of him and brought him to this place. I know it’s silly, but it brings me joy.
That is really charming! Although my son too has a small stork bite on his neck, I’ve never heard of this. When he wakes up tomorrow, I will view it differently because the day I went into full labor and was admitted to the hospital was also the day his Great Gran passed away. Obviously, she’s giving you a quick kiss!
I can’t stop crying over that! I like to think that the story I was given about the angel kiss originated with my father, who similarly died at a young age. It is not foolish in my opinion.
My darling tom cat become very ill at the same time as my baby was on the verge of death. This cat helped me get through some really bad years, and I really think that without him, I wouldn’t be here now. Nevertheless, LO has a big stork bite, and I can’t get rid of the thought that my cat sacrificed his life to keep LO here. I’m reminded of how cats hold their young by the location. Both are doing well now, however my cat still sleeps most of the time and has never really recovered.
This is so beautiful, oh! What an amazing feline
