i did get my tattoo.....can't remember if i posted about the final decision or not. i went to the tat place and tried to find the symbol i wanted ("mourned loss"), but i couldn't. i was able to find, however, 2 symbols that when combined mean "sorrow".....since i got it on the 3 yr anniversary of luke's death. it's a meaningful tattoo to me, and i am glad that i got it. i also got it high enough on the bottom right side of my back that it's not always showing. more of a personal thing than something for show. never year i think i'll get "hope" underneath it....maaaaaybe.
ETA: link to my tattoo pic is
here...just go to the "my photos" album....it's in there.....i don't think a direct link works....
