Dude! No Freakin' Way!
So, I don't know if I mentioned it but when I was about to undergo surgery my mom kidded with me that she was thinking of getting an angel tattoo. Well I thought she as kidding. Today was her 60th birthday so I called her a few days ago and said "Hey, guess what I got you for your 60th birthday?" Well, to my complete and utter surprise, she actually said "Cool, when are we going?" Still thinking she was pulling my leg I talked to my tattoo artist (Dave at Guru Tattoo) and we got the artwork -- a Japanese angel which would commemorate a few things. I used to live in Japan, my sister was out of the house so it was just my parents and I... and the angel for the recovery/dodging the bullet of this whole cancer thing. I'm still shocked that she is getting one... I told her she must go first so I can believe it when I see it. Anyway, Dave is going to fit us in tomorrow.... 12 noon... my last ink (yes, yes, I realize I said that last time)... I promise to post pictures... OMG MY MOM IS GETTING A TATTOO WITH ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know, I have to say, in a huge way, this is the coolest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Angels aren't really my thing... and this is a bit cutesy but it will forever be this moment I shared with MY MOM... it can never be taken away... it will be forever etched on my ankle... what a wonderful thing.
