The Things We Do For Love

A few days after my Ellie passed, I decided I needed to have a piece of her with me always. So what did I do? Got myself a tattoo (sorry mom)! That's right... I got inked in honor of my girl. Its my first tattoo in ten years, bringing the current total to two.

My new tattoo is based on the design in Ellie's food bowl, and the artist added her name along with a couple of decorative swirlies - it's a nice touch. I simply love it!

Now, the tattoo is placed on the inside of my right arm - I was a little freaked-out the first week at the whole "looking like a lesbian sailor," but I am over it now.... and no offense to either sects of people - live and let live, I say!

Its been 2 months since I lost Ellie and I sure do miss my sweet girl, every single day. Having a bit of her stamped on my arm brings me a bit of comfort.

Without further ado - my ode to Miss Ellie Mae Webb...
