My Valentine’s Day actually started last night! My boys got me an azalea plant!! I can’t wait to find a spot for it in my yard! Then this morning my DH put a card and a small box (!! Love those small boxes !!) on my laptop. The card was wonderfully mushy and the small box held the most beautiful pearl and gold earrings!! He’s definitely been working on his gift giving skills! lol
A few updates:
I’m finally starting to feel better, but I’m very weak. J2 and I will do about 1 hour of schoolwork and then I have to go lay down for awhile. But I’m so much better than I was and I know I’ll be back to normal…someday! :/
RE the tattoo – thanks for all the comments. I got a call from my brother and he said “Do it! I’ll pay for it!” Yeah right! lol And, plus…I remember when he had green hair! I’m not so sure that his advice will go very far. Ok – just kidding – It actually matters very much to me what my family thinks. Maybe I’ll do it this summer.
And one person asked why I was just focusing on Josh – not the other 3 Js. Well, basically – I can still hold and cuddle those guys – I don’t worry that I will forget them. The tattoo is a feeble attempt to hold onto something special that I lost. However, I have considered 4 J’s in a circle with a heart in the center…maybe someday on my ankle. AACK!! That’s two tattoos!! lol
Seriously, I’m still not sure if I’m going to do it or not….there’s that pain thing to remember too. But it’s something I’m seriously considering. I’ll keep you updated! 🙂
i have 2 tats i really don’t remember the pain. i wouldn’t change it for a thing. so if you want to go ahead and do it. it only hurts for a bit… then you’ll have a lasting memory
The physical discomfort is NOTHING compared to the emotional pain of loosing a child. You have already done the tuff stuff. If you deside this is something you want to do I have feeling you can handle it. I have one on the soft part of my belly and one on the top of my foot. They are supposed to be painful sites. I know we are all different but they really weren’t bad. You could handle it.
