Hubby’s mom loved palm trees. You should have seen their backyard – it was a tropical oasis in Arizona. When they helped us landscape our yard she got her way and we also have tons of palm trees and hibiscus. I absolutely love it! So when she passed away I thought that a little palm tree tattoo would be a perfect way to remember her. I spent the next two years convincing her best friend to get one with me! When her BFF was finally ready last year I couldn’t go because I was pregnant with Gavin. Timing was finally right and we went last week to get the tattoo. What do you think? I thought adding Gavin’s initials to the sand would be a nice touch. I actually think I am going to head back and have more sand added. This tattoo is on my upper hip. Every time I see the bright colors I think of my M-in-L and how she is watching over Gavin in heaven.
What a fantastic way to honor and remember her! I really like that it brings Gavin and her physically together as well.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I have been thinking about getting a tattoo to remember my twins as well. I am scared though...but I think it would be healing.
ReplyDeleteI love looking at your pic of Gavin on your side-bar. He reminds me so much of my babies.
