Love really is more than skin deep. H/T Daily Mirror.
This is the Phillips family of Grimsby, England: Tanya, Adam, and their daughter, Honey-Rae.

Honey-Rae was born with a birthmark that covers a good portion of her body.
Tanya told the Daily Mirror: "It is bright red and it covers almost half of the right side of her body. It stretches from her toes to her lower back. It hasn't faded with time. In fact some days, it looks darker than others."
Knowing their child might be treated differently, the Phillips decided to take action to help their daughter not feel alone.

An incident at a grocery store is what initially prompted them to do something.
"I was at checkout, when I saw an old couple whispering and staring at Honey-Rae’s leg. I was distraught. It was the first time I had taken her out without covering her up and it confirmed all my worries and fears," Tanya told the Daily Mail. People are cruel without even realizing."

"Most people might think it's very extreme, but to us, it was the natural thing to do to ensure our daughter never felt different or alone in the world," Tanya told the Daily Mirror. "We wanted her to feel special, that her birthmark was something to feel proud of and not embarrassed by."
