Labor of Love - A Valentine's Gift To My Sons

For Valentine's this year, I decided to have my sons initials tattooed on my lower back.

So I got Tid to go with me to see Marcus at Smiling Buddha Tattoo in Savannah yesterday and told him that I wanted wings, initials and hearts - the rest of the design I left up to him ...

He surpassed even my expectations and blew me & I think Tid away with this custom design:



I didn't let anyone else see it until after the boys and I went out for our Valentine's Dinner Date tonight at Steamers Seafood House ...

Here's a picture of them beside their initials:



Their response to their tattoo?? Well, CJ said that it was "Da Bomb" and Devon said "his" was "so cool even Antarctica couldn't compare." (Guess that means they liked them??)

Yeah, I coulda gone to dinner with someone else and not had crab legs sprayed on me all night or little boys making silly school jokes .. but, to me I couldn't think of anyone else I'd rather spend my Valentine's Day with ...

Thank you all for letting me share this moment with you .. and I hope that your Valentine's Day was half as cool as mine was.
