My tattoo was specifically dedicated to my dad and the wonderful childhood he gave me. When I showed him tonight he couldn’t even finish reading the second line before he started crying. I know he’s getting old and things are changing, so instead of blowing him off for not understanding what we teens do today, I just really wanted to show him that I care about his past and what he values. The poem, the movie, and the song form what I call a bond. It’s a bond that is strictly important to me, purposely so that I never let go of him especially after how much conflict that has erupted between us. Also, it gives me the ability to always remember him while I’m at college…all I have to do is look over my right shoulder. I love you dad, stay gold <3
