With moving and, well just life, I'm a little late adding to my survivor tattoo. I should have added butterfly #6 in May, but better late than never, lol. For those of you who are new, or may have forgotten, the chinese symbol means "to live" or "to survive", then I'm adding a butterfly each year.
Butterfly #5 has a 5 in it (Thanx again Leeanne for designing it!), it's also bigger than the rest because I was given about a 20% chance of living to see that butterfly, so I really celebrated, lol. However #5 seemed to be out there dangling alone, so we took care of that this year. We added a lazy path which I think really helps him connect more. I have the path made out of semicolons ; because I'm a semicolon, lol. :)
I decided to turn my survivor tattoo into a travel bug on geocaching.com so we added the tracking code for that.
Tada - butterfly #6, pooping out star #9 - the stars represent how many years Dennis and I have been married. :) This butterfly is back to the smaller size - he's a smidge bigger than my pinkie nail. They all look a little messy right now, they're really fresh. :)
That is soooo awesome!! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading you since you got the tat. It is awesome & can't wait to see your whole arm filled with butterflies!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a big tattoo fan - but knowing that you have yours for a great reason, I think they are awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on another year.
ReplyDeleteGood for you. The tattoo is a cool idea. I would have to play catch-up to do that since my surgery date is November 1998. I wasn't supposed to be here either.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! Looks awesome
