"I did it!" I finally decided on my tattoo and went and got it done. It was painful but not as bad as I expected. I am very happy that Darren came with me. Just having him near helps to keep me calm and focused. Dave, the artist did a fabulous job and it turned out great! "I love it!".
The flower that I chose grew wild at the back of our yard near a maple tree in a pile of mulch, with not much soil and very dry conditions. I moved it into the regular garden bed and was so thankful when it survived the move. The flowers start in June and keep on going till the frost. To me it represents beauty, strength and newlife.
