love lives on

I never thought much about getting a tattoo in the past.  I don't have a problem with them, but I never thought of anything in particular that I'd especially like to have drawn on me...forever.  However, I have seriously been considering a tattoo to memorialize my babies since I lost my third angel last summer.  I googled different ideas, and apparently a miscarriage tattoo is not too unheard of.  Most of the ideas I saw were babies with angel wings, foot prints, etc.  Then I saw someone on a forum had mentioned they were getting a dandelion with the seeds blowing in the wind, representing her lost babies.  There was no pic posted, so I googled dandelion tattoos...and the image above popped up.  I followed the link to the original site, and it was actually a tattoo a woman had gotten after her divorce.  This is similar to what I would like to get eventually, but maybe with just three little fluttering seeds in the wind.  I like how she put 'love lives on' underneath. Actually, seeing this brought tears to my eyes.  Not a day goes by that I don't think of them, love them, and remember them.  I read once that a woman who had miscarried many times had pictured her children in Heaven like they were running though a field of flowers, laughing, and having so much fun they did not notice she was not yet there with them. And that when she finally did join them in Heaven, they would look back at her, and she would catch up to them in that field of flowers. I think that is a beautiful image...and again, I can't think of that without having tears spill down my cheeks. It's amazing how raw the emotion is, all these months later.  Thank you God, for ALL of my babies.  I know one day I will be with them all.
