So I have a tattoo now. . . I never thought I’d get one, not because I have anything against tattoos, I just didn’t have anything I felt so strongly about, I’d etch it into my skin forever. When I was younger I toyed with the idea of getting a music note, I like music notes and since singing is such a big part of who me, it felt right, but then I never got around to it.
Then Logan died and ever since I’ve yearned for a way to have some sort of tangible memento of him, something that couldn’t be taken away like he was…that’s where the tattoo came in. I had a couple of design ideas and never knew what exactly I wanted, but then it hit me, his name (If you look back on my blog, he had that name from the very beginning) everyone knows it and it feels “right” to have it displayed so proudly – on my wrist. I also opted for a butterfly because that is what he is to me, My little butterfly, I had him in the cocoon of my womb and before I could catch him he had flown out of my reach. and it just so happens that every time I really miss him especially at his grave, butterflies will visit and it warms my heart to have this as a “connection with him” – well aware that people might think I’m reading way more into butterfly thing than there is, but I like to think of it as a God’incodence (phrase used by my friend, Leisl) Anyway I had it done in Uth at Tattoo Junkie and it was far less painful than I expected and I would recommend the owner, Ryan to anyone.
PS. I have a prayer request for all of you faithful people out there, two amazing women I know need divine intervention right now, one is battling with life threatening health problems and the other lost her baby just the other day. I don’t want to divulge anymore because it’s really not my place, but I have always believed in Mathew 18:20 “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I in the midst of them” so I believe the more people pray for them the better. So please say a silent prayer for them, God knows who I mean
HAPPY TUESDAY
