The story behind the ink..

Facebook has been a daily part of my life for quite some time now. I recently got back in contact with my brother's daughter, Randi, who asked me what my tattoo means. It was then that I realized that I hadn't really shared the full story with very many people so I took a few minutes and explained it to her. My reply went something like this:
"When my daughter Kathryn was about 6 years old she was playing with some nail polish. She ended up making a picture on a sheet of paper that has had a great impact on my life. In multicolour splendor the picture was of the words 'I Love You".
That night she placed the picture on my pillow as she was getting ready for bed. When I went to bed I saw it lying there and was filled with happiness. I brought the picture into my daughters room and while she slept, placed it under the edge of her pillow and gave her a hug & kiss goodnight.
Not long after that another picture was drawn on the back of the paper, using the same colourful nail polish, which says "I Love You Too". Each night for many, many years the same piece of paper, now shielded in a document protector, has made its way back and forth between us.
So, to answer your question, my tattoo says "I Love You" and it represents the special bond that is shared between Kathryn and I. BTW, she got a tattoo on her back that says "I Love You too" in the same writing that is paired with a beautiful butterfly!"
