My Tattoo

There is always one thing that I get asked about more than anything else... my tattoo.  My tattoo is incredibly special to me and it really made the pain worth it to make this a permanent accessory. 

You see,  Bueno was how my dad would answer the phone when I would call him. He would greet me so enthusiastically with a Buenoooo! followed by his joyful laughter.  I could almost hear him smiling as he beamed with happiness through the phone.  Bueno is defined as okay; fine or it is used in certain latin cultures as a way to say hello when answering the phone. But not in my family, only my Dad and I found it funny and for many years we would always let out a cheerful Buenooooo! followed by a giggle every time we spoke. 

When my Dad passed away, I knew I would never hear Bueno again.  It had become such a part of my life to hear my Dad so happy, even when he got sick, his greeting was always full of cheer.  It was my hubby's idea to to place a tattoo on my wrist so that I could see it everyday. Although it's not the same as hearing my dad's voice,  I absolutely love my tattoo and how it brings back memories of my Dads laughter and that joy in his voice.
