The picture in the header above is M's arm. He got it a few months after Mary passed away. It's so beautiful and it was something he wanted to do for himself, and of course his little girl.
We have been talking about me going to get one for a few months now. I already have two other tattoos so it's not like I am new to them. But I was always hesitant. A few days ago, he told me that right after work, we were going to the shop and getting me one. I knew I wanted a turtle with her name. Turtles would have been in her nursery whether she was a boy or a girl. So, I took some of the design on his other arm and let the artist get creative. (oh, it hurt...like bad)
I wish things were different and I didn't have to get this tattoo.
But she was worth it.
