I got my first tattoo a month after I finished treatment for breast cancer. Something I had secretly wanted to do most of my life...It was the first item on my life list. I got 2 more when I had my 5 year anniversary.
Ten years ago this week, I finished up my treatment and tonight I got my 10 year ink. The phoenix is a symbol for rebirth, so I thought it fitting to be the subject for this milestone. I am, after all, a somewhat different person today than I was back when this journey began.
Yeh...yeh...yeh....I know...I have to live with for the rest of my life....but hey....I've already lived a good portion of the rest of my life...
such a powerful symbol. and so perfect. But not the tat we talked about a couple of years ago.
