With the current fad of tattoos, most without any worthy meaning, I see them in a poor light, although I have one myself. I got mine when I was 18 years old, fresh out of Navy boot camp. Many of us got them, I guess as a symbol of pride. Today many tattoos are not a symbol of anything to be proud of, but yours is a meaningful symbol of what is in your heart and soul. It is a tribute of love and honer to a precious time in your life. I know that the pain will never go away, but the love and memories will shine inside you forever.

God bless,

Bruce
