When I was very young I had of course been stung by a bee and wasps so to me I thought every bug that fly would hurt me.

My father showed me a gorgeous dragonfly one day.. he promised me they were safe, and it was magical , a visit from a loved one that’s passed away often.

The day my father died in December 10th 1997 as we finally left the hospital... as my mom got in the car I took about a minute to deep breath so I was able to drive home.... I was leaving up against the chair a dragonfly landed right on my hand.

My father also told my daughter about dragonflies. She was 6 when he died.

I’m always seeing dragonfly’s ... Well I have seen them dozens of times in the dead of winter and below freezing.

Anyway I got mine, it’s on the underside of my right arm.... and my daughter has one ( not the same) on the top of her foot

I also have on my collar bone “ inhale the future exhale the past.

I also have the word Balance on my lower side of wrist.

I have my semi colon on the area between my thumb and index finger, its very visible and people that know what it’s about , it’s like a connection. People who don’t know I will tell what it’s about.

Also on my other wrist underneath have a shadow of a flying bird.

All of my tattoos have huge meaning to me.
