I spent yesterday evening having the memorial tattoo for my mom inked.



Those are the keys to the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, which was her favorite place. That's her handwriting in the ribbon.

The Stroppy One created the design from my vague description and stick figure -quality sketch, and the tattoo was done by Joe Who at Pierced Hearts.

I miss her. I always will.

**comforting hugs**

That is a beautiful and fitting memorial. I knew immediately that it had to be her handwriting, before reading the description.

I found a piece of paper in a book that I'd loaned to my Dad when he was in the hospital, some time after he died. He had left me a note saying that he liked the book, and that he loved me.

Needless to say, I'm keeping that note forever.

The idea of using her own hand writing is very touching. It is really beautiful.

Your mom's favorite place was The Haunted Mansion?

Now I'm having memories of my own late mother and going through the Haunted Mansion. *lolsob*

Very, very nice tattoo, my dear.

Truly beautiful tribute. On your next visit to the haunted mansion I hope you can take a photo of this fitting remembrance in front of the mansion. :0 )

Very beautiful!

I miss her too. This is wonderful, and she would have loved it. <3

what does Dad think?

This is a very lovely, very fitting memorial to her. I think she would have loved it. *toasts with cup of pumpkin chai tea*

I support you in all things. This made me really depressed. I keep notes my mom writes me so when she's gone I have them. Even grocery lists. Yeah.

That is a beautiful tattoo. I miss her as well.

It's lovely, and even though I obviously never knew your mom, I think she'd appreciate it and understand the feeling behind it. *hug*

That's beautiful, and a very profound memorial. I wish you didn't need to have a memorial of her, though.

Oh, sweetie. It's lovely, the keys are just right, and her handwriting--there are tears in my eyes.
