My Survivor Tattoo is growing



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. :)

  5. Good 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.
