I got a tattoo of my son Brandon that passed away on Jan, 5 2010. It really helped in making me feel connected with him; or like he is with me all the time. I go to the cemetary often but the tattoo helps me when I can't visit. My husband and I found Brandon 18 and his friend Kady 15 overdosed at our grandparents house while they were away. The traumatic event cannot leave my memory. Life is a day to day struggle.
