Kelli. I am sorry you have had a rough time with your reconstruction. I was always pretty oblivious to other women's breasts, my own as well, but I do find myself being a little more observant now, having had a bi-lateral mastectomy eleven months ago. You are right about treasuring our loved ones and our lives even more now, but I think it's normal to feel a little remorse about the loss of our "old" breasts. My new ones still occasionally feel like foreign objects. But here we are, moving forward, appreciating this "different" life we now have.
