Thursday's talk...

It's tattoo time!! My son is officially getting his very first ever tattoo! I didn't want to sign anything prior to him turning 18 years old stating that he can get a tattoo so thankfully he waited until he was old enough to get one without permission. I feel better knowing that he is 18 years old and legally old enough to make his own decision. Braden is getting our family tattoo...the superman logo with Go Forward beneath it. It is one that has much meaning to our family, it symbolizes strength, perserverance and determination. Most of my family at this stage has gotten the symbol, its kinda a pact between us showing the world that we have been through hell as a family but came through it stronger and closer than ever! This tattoo demonstrates the bond we have, the significance of "going forward" even when you are truly paralyzed (no pun intended) and feel that you have been defeated. Boy, we have had many moments in our life like that...there have been times when I honestly didn't think I could rise from my own bed. NOR did I want too..thankfully I didn't really had a choice, I still had to get up and outta bed...I had children to care for. Somedays..I hated that, I hated having to get out of bed...I had wished there was someone else there to take care of my kids. For the most part...it was only me! Most days facing the world with a broken heart, defeated soul and a closed mind...the only thing that I did have was the faces of those two beautiful children looking up at me expecting me to show them happiness...even on the worst possible days of my life..I did just that! I showed them happiness...I smiled through sadness, anger, fear, frustration and at times hate! That my friends was called "Going Forward"!
This tattoo is monumental...he's a man now! I kinda feel like he's part of our adult club! Poor Kailey is left to get one..that will be when she's older! I might talk her into changing it up a bit and making it a little more "girlie". I'm not sure if she'll want the Superman emblem" on her body?! But you never know? Maybe she will...
Well Zeta's...i'm tired..gotta go!
Good night and god bless~
