Day 2:
Planning the tattoo
October 2025
I had always wanted my Nana to help me give myself a tattoo. When I first asked her she was hesitant about it because she didn’t want to hurt me. Ultimately, we never got the chance, but I always knew she would’ve at least tried.
I finally feel ready to plan a tattoo for her, my sister helping me in my Grandma’s place.
"I can’t remember the last time she called me Laramie Rae (my middle name) of Sunshine or told me to sleep with the angels, but I think about it a lot.
Inspired by my cousin who initiated this honorary process of turning her nightly farewell into a lasting memory of her.
Sleep with the angels, Nana."
