I am getting another tattoo. Well, technically, I’ll be getting at least two more tattoos within the next 10 months. It was part of my New Year’s Resolution – two new tats and two new piercings. But one of the tats doesn’t get to be thought about before I get it.
The one I have planned is going to be awesome. It’s going to be the treble clef of the first line of “Amazing Grace” in the key of G. It’s going to wrap around my left wrist starting on the middle inside and ending around the same place, just spiraled down a ways. Then, under the clef somewhere (undecided as of right now) is going to be the word “befun.”
Here’s why:
My Unca Dave is dead. Has been for almost 11 years. When he passed away, my Aunt Mary (his older sister) decided she wanted to sing “Amazing Grace” at the memorial service. My mom typed up the lyrics for her as Mary read them to her. When we got to the last line – “…we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we first begun” – Mom accidentally typed “befun.” It was funny because it was like comic relief for a really crappy situation, but then also, it was awesome because Dave was so fun. He was the epitome of fun. Funnier than anyone I have ever known.
That is awesome and it looks so great! Love you!
