Our entire lives our mom has asked us to promise two things: never start smoking and never get tattoos. I'm happy to report that my brother, sister and I are all cigarette free. However, Madelyn's diagnosis, life and death have been a game changer for the whole family. Yesterday I sent this text to my brother "Right now your baby sister is getting a tattoo while your mom watches" Mom went a step further and even helped pay for Jamie's "Ink".
Needless to say, I am touched by my sister's love and devotion to my children. She is an amazing Aunt and Godmother and Sister and Best Friend. She has been so strong and courageous, allowing me to be weak and raw for the first time in my life. I love her and I love her new Tattoo.
