Cherry Blossoms for Tattoo

_{You know... I saw this the other day ...didn't slow down long enough to comment then ...but, now that I've had a chance to think about this... I feel so "pushed" to offer these "thoughts" (and please remember that they are worth EXACTLY what you paid for them ...so you are free to hate me ...blow me off... or just hide my stewpid comment )}

.......but, I cannot help but wonder if your Papa would be more impressed with this tattoo?? or would he, perhaps, wish that you had spent the time to get the tattoo and the expense of having the tattoo inked... taking his two wonderful grandchildren on spontaneous "adventures" with their wonderful mom?? so that his grandchildren will have awesome memories of their childhood?? and do it all in his memory!!

What those "adventures" would be... well, that would be up to you, of course But, my brain is thinking that an unexpected ice cream cone on the trip home from school would be a great start ...or maybe a mini shopping trip to say Michael's... or a favorite book store (to find a new bedtime book!)

...and any time that one of these "in memory of my Papa" adventures occurs ...you can share a loving story about a great time that you had with your Papa ...so your children will have stories to share with their children about their grandfather

...because childhood is really soooooooooo very short ...and our memories of childhood travel with us the entire rest of our lives ...and our parents are the caretakers of just what kind of memories that we have to carry with us!!

...and instead of inking just one of your beautiful drawings on your skin... how about purchasing or making a lovely journal type book... in which you could draw tons of images... when you are missing your Papa ...and then you'd have many beautiful images to remember him by!!
