So anyone who knows me, knows that I lost my brother not too long ago. He was 25 years old when he passed away and it tore me all to pieces. When he passed away my father had him cremated and put some of his ashes in a beautiful urn necklace for me. I have been trying to think of a unique memorial tattoo that I could get and include, “I love you sissy,” in his handwriting from a letter I have from him…. Well, Saturday evening I got my answer.
My family and I went out to eat, and for the first time in almost a month I put my baby brothers urn necklace on to take him with us. After having a nice family meal, my husband decides he wants to go to Walmart to get a rake. We find the rakes outside in the garden center. While he is looking at rakes, me and the kids are strolling around checking out all the beautiful flowers.
Suddenly, we notice a quick little thing moving around eating nectar from the flowers. It was so bizarre and fast that we couldn’t register what we were even looking at. My son’s were debating what it was while I was admiring the uniqueness and beauty of it. One of my sons said it looked like a hummingbird, the other countered that with… no it looks like a moth. After flying away, I googled, “What looks like a moth but hovers like a hummingbird?” Low and behold they were both correct. It was a clear wing hummingbird moth!!!!! It made my whole day. I decided that will be my tattoo. After we got home, I decided to do some more research on it. The more I read the more fascinated I became!!!! I was so upset at myself for not gettin a picture of it before it flew away!!
The next day, I go grocery shopping for the week. I come home and park in our driveway by our flower bush…(I never park there and still not sure why I did this time but I am so glad I did…) Before I even reach for my door handle, there is this little guy hover around, flower to flower, eating nectar!!!! I snapped my pic, even though its super hard to get a great picture because they are super fast like hummingbirds! I swear this was my little bro sending me a, “Hey Sissy!”
So it is final, I need to find someone that can draw me a hummingbird moth eating nectar from a beautiful flower! If any of you want to attempt it and email it to me I would be greatly appreciative! Anyways, until we meet again little brother! I love and miss you more than words could ever describe!! ❤️ 👼 💗
