my great g-ma had been in a nursing home since March and not doing well and tonight[june 16] she was horrible. june 17th was father's day. me and my best friend woke up and my dad took her home while my mom was at my g-ma's house. my dad said it was because she needed to be with her dad on father's day. i was playing ddr when my mom came home and she asked if my dad said anything. i said no. then she told me my great g-ma had died that morning[june 17].
to tell you the truth, i wasn't surprised; i saw it coming. it wasn't until i was alone or at the funeral when it hit me. i felt so bad. i never went to see her while she was in the nursing home. but she was in bad condition, can you blame me?
i have this beautiful blouse she made me, it's jade green with black piping and a mandarin collar. she never got to see me wear it. i want to cry everyday because i think getting to see me would have help her a little bit. i'm not try to brag or sound conceited, but she loved me more than anything, as i did her. she was a very strong woman, lived to be 89. she sewed anytime she could and was a celebrity in her small town because of it.
so in her memory, i want to get a tattoo of a sewing needle with a thread going through the eye, making a heart with a cursive 'E'[her name is Estelle]. i want it to look like it's going through my skin. here's a crappy example i concocted.

can anyone maybe make a good realistic looking sketch for me? it would really mean a lot to me.
thanks,

i totally understand what your going through, my grandma died on my 12th birthday. Hence the reason, why im never allowed to celebrate much on my birthday
