I'm gonna get a tattoo

[mrsengeseth]

I'll share mine. It's a tribute to my mom, who we lost a year ago to two forms of lymphoma. she had diffused group B cell and follicular.

Im from Maine. The Chickadee, Pine Tree and tassel are the state bird, tree, and flower of Maine. The ribbon is the lymphoma awareness ribbon.

My mom was small and delicate, like the chickadee appears to be. But strong and solid, like the pine tree who weathers the tough Maine winters. And she was shy and private, like the pinecone...who takes a while to open up and share her many beautiful gifts.

It says "A Mari Usque ad mare" which means "from sea to sea". It is the national motto, part of the Canadian coat of arms. Seemed more original than getting a flag tat haha

AS soon as I saw your tat I checked to see where you are from expecting to see that you were from Maine. I love the black capped chickadee. What a nice tat.

So sorry for the loss of your mother. May she always be blessed and forever in peace .
