Its been a crazy week or 2 thats for sure. My tattoo is almost done, all except some white highlights on the flowers and a few touch ups. I had a friend take some better pictures of it for me.
it feels so good to finally have ink under my skin, I couldn't be happier about it.
On the more crazier side of recent events, my Mom who has overcome so much pain and suffering through abuse, severe alcoholism, obesity, losing her home and a lot of things and people most dear in her heart, is now paying the ultimate sacrifice for all of her struggling... her sanity. I have been waiting more than 10 years to see the day she finally gets some serious help and now that its here, it is far more difficult than I ever imagined it could or would be. I always felt she was paranoid schizophrenic but to see her as sick as she is now, being in a psychiatric unit is so painful to see. I wish so badly that I was closer to help her through this. I struggled all through school with trying to help her and take care of her and finally left the nest and forced myself to let go. Now its as if that same pain and fear is revisiting me, except for I'm already gone. I am thankful to have made the 7 hour drive there easter morning to visit her for a few hours that night.
I guess all this means it may be time for a new deep painting.

The tattoo is pretty dang beautiful! So sorry to hear about your mom. I went through the same with mine. She's doing a lot better now though, I'll be praying that your mom finds peace as well.
