I considered for some time getting a little band of his dancing men tattooed around my arm or leg, but the idea went away at some point. I'm thinking now that maybe I should reconsider it.Cliff Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14601389977814866457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-5852057159191091562008-05-05T12:40:00.000-04:002008-05-05T12:40:00.000-04:00Thanks for the post.

And because she's on my foot she's there when I step out into the world, when I connect with the earth. What you say about your daughter is true. She is a light that is always inside you. My daughter was slowly dying inside me for two months and during that time my nerve often failed. But hers never did. I'd feel her little feet kicking and amost hear her say, 'Come on Mum. You're OK.' Sometimes I still hear her speaking to me and she says, 'Mum I didn't die so that you could become a nasty, small, bitter person. I died so that you could become someone better. So what are you going to do about it?' Pretty bossy, my daughter. But her words help. I'm sure Maddy speaks to you too.<BR/><BR/>AliceAlicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472729169216109749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-63818354957149516742008-05-05T12:09:00.000-04:002008-05-05T12:09:00.000-04:00Tash, This is beautiful.

That being said it has been a thought for some time now. It'll more than likely remain just that unless, I can get Williams birthstone color done all around my ring finger on my right hand. That would be my only way I do believe. <BR/><BR/>Once again this is gorgeous. Happy Birthday to Keith. Thinking of you and your radiating Maddy!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912286121374215944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-23059333426856949752008-05-04T20:21:00.000-04:002008-05-04T20:21:00.000-04:00I share your love of Keith Haring and the PopShop....I share your love of Keith Haring and the PopShop.<BR/><BR/>This post made me sad, missing something/someone.Lollipop Goldsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01020874415819057995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-54255021745425416092008-05-04T16:18:00.000-04:002008-05-04T16:18:00.000-04:00I love Keith Haring, sooo cool.I love Keith Haring, sooo cool.Aureliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691032415028867902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-31123566704507898422008-05-04T16:05:00.000-04:002008-05-04T16:05:00.000-04:00I didn't know much about Keith Haring prior to col...I didn't know much about Keith Haring prior to college, as my art education classes in secondary school wouldn't dare talk about a gay man, let alone one who died of AIDS. Oh, the terror of such a thought! However, once in college, I found the man and his art so interesting, I wrote a couple of papers on him. <BR/><BR/>Your thoughts on the image make sense, even if, as you say, it wouldn't initially appear that way.

I like how you can look at that picture and find Maddy in it. <BR/><BR/>He really was too young to die. It's funny that the older I get, the ages that I used to think were sooo old are now sooo young to me. But even though his life was short, he made a mark and left an impression. And that is a great thing.CLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08030787972960755420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-78913679741103609462008-05-04T11:57:00.000-04:002008-05-04T11:57:00.000-04:00I love this, Tash.

I love it.<BR/><BR/>I've never been into the whole tattoo thing, but recently have considered doing something more permanent than deadbaby jewelry to memorialize C. I have yet to find something that resonates with me. Reading this though makes me think I have just been looking in the wrong places for meaning.c.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02933776400434137451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8937223408953728341.post-75742793152911763692008-05-04T10:34:00.000-04:002008-05-04T10:34:00.000-04:00Happy Birthday, Keith!
