I think that sounds sensible, sweet, and cool. But moms are of a different generation, and you will have that tattoo long after she is gone. Tell her you will do the same with her ashes. Or will that freak her out? I miss my dad, and it's been over 12 years. They went by SO FAST. My mom has been gone for two years. It seems very weird when my memories take me back, or I look at pictures and think of never seeing them again. I hope my belief that we will see everyone again is stable because I live on that dream when I get to reminiscing and crying. I just told my youngest daughter about your tattoo, and she is now thinking of doing that with some of her dad's ashes.
