The Clover Tattoo
The following is a funny message that my daughter, Kailagh, sent out as a group text to some family members and myself. I never would have imagined that this text would lead me to getting my next tattoo.
Kailagh:
I did it! I found a four leaf clover. This was definitely a practice in determination. So many times I thought I would give up, but just decided that I want to be a person that follows-through and accomplishes goals! So I just continued searching and found one!
Took me about 8 mins. What's your time? You have till May 17th, St. Patrick's day, to respond to say that you've beaten my time. Also, I may do it again to break your new time. Winner is the current first place holder on St. Patrick's day and first to respond that day.
We are all so busy, but this is a challenge to enjoy, 10-ish minutes of nature and peace and to remember what it feels like to be a kid. Yes, I will definitely win this but am excited!
My response:
Found it in 45 seconds! And it's actually a 6 leaf clover …in front of Kailagh, as a witness.
I would go on to find 3 more six-leaf clovers in the next few weeks. CRAZY! It doesn’t escape me that the number six comes up a lot. I have six children. It inevitably encouraged me to get my six-leaf clover tattoo some years later.
