It has been almost 6 months since I lost my sister. I can't believe it has been that long. It feels like just yesterday that I received that devastating phone call. Grief is a nasty emotion. Just when you think you are doing good...BAM! It knocks the wind out of you all over again.
I recently decided I wanted to get a tattoo to honor Faith. I have always wanted one on my wrist, but didn't know what to put there. Faith's name was the perfect thing. I was just going to put Faith, but to our family she was Faith Marie. She even referred to herself as Faith Marie. So it was only fitting that I would have Faith Marie tattooed instead of just Faith. She also had great handwriting. Anytime I saw her writing, I knew it was hers. It was very unique.
Last week I went through all of her papers and documents to see if I could find her signature in her handwriting. I found the perfect one. I had it tattooed on my right wrist.
It was hard to get a good picture, but you get the idea. This tattoo means so much to me. I find myself looking at it off and on all day long, and it always brings a smile to my face.

That's really cool. I love her handwriting.
She did have great handwriting. So how do they do that? How do they transfer her writing from paper onto your wrist?
That is very cool Jessica. And she does have gorgeous handwriting.
that is really neat to have replicated her signature, it's almost as if she wrote it on you herself :)
This is touching, beautiful, and perfect! :) The process of getting the tattoo, including the pain must have been a very spiritual moment for you. I think this is one of the most beautiful memorials I've ever seen. You are such a thoughtful and wonderful sister. I know that she would be so proud to have her name on your wrist. Thank you for sharing it with us.
That is amazing!! So so so awesome and such a great idea! I'm getting a tattoo in remembrance of mom.. it's the rose she had on her right ankle.. I'm going to put "Mom" and then the dates of her birth and date of her.. yeah.
