Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. ~Mk 10:14 Carley's Site was last updated 01/03/02 10:47:49 PM

Mother's Day 2001 was not at all what I had planned for it to be. I had planned to have my little girl all decked out in a frilly dress with a little bonnet on her head. I planned on our new little family to go to brunch with the grandparents and maybe a nice walk on the bike trail if the weather was nice. As it turns out, this was just one of many days I had planned that was not meant to be. My Mother's Day present was an unusual one, and one that I know I will always treasure, no matter how non-traditional it is. Friday, May 11, 4 co-workers and I left the office a little early and headed to a neighborhood near Iowa State University known as "Campustown". On Welch Avenue, there is a bevy of interesting restaurants, clothing stores, and 1 well established tattoo parlor. My friends and I went into the tattoo shop armed with a digital camera and a scanned image of Carley's footprints. I was going to memorialize my daughter permanently.
Now, should anyone ever see it, I can just claim that it is proof of an angel who perches on my shoulder. I miss my baby.

Although many people bypass
guestbooks, I would like very much to know who has taken the time, even if only
a few moments, to get to know my daughter. Please, take a few more moments
and sign her guestbook. It would mean a great deal to me!
