My dress is ivory with champagne trim ... so if you put that starfish into circulation ... I'd love to use the champagne starfish!!

I got the tattoo first. I had one of my best friends die, and I was having a difficult time making sense of his death, and I had a very good friend tell me the story of someone who wrote their memoirs, and wrote of how when out fishing in the early morning he watched a waterbug struggle up the side of the boat. He watched this waterbug for a long, long time. The waterbug finally reached it's destination the top of the boat, and it died. The man sat and contemplated the fairness of life, if you work so very hard and then your reward is death. After some time he saw the waterbug begin to change, and that waterbug turned into a beautiful dragonfly. Well the man thought to himself if something so small and insignificant moves on to such a beautiful existence, then just imagine what is instore for us~

This story had a great impact on me, so I, a year later, drew my dragonfly and had it tattooed on my back. It represents hope to me, it gives me comfort. I have tattooed another dragonfly to represent the death, and hopefully rebirth of my father, it helps me through the difficult days.

My nickname really isn't dragonfly, but everyone in my life when they see dragonflies think of me. So now you all know...
