Why do you have the breast cancer tattoo ?

Someone who I love very much was diagnosed with breast cancer and when she went into remission I realized how important Breast Cancer Awareness is. Her having breast cancer was a big strain on our relationship and I got the tattoo to remind me that me and this person went through a tough time but, we came over it. It also helps me remember the relief when the cancer was gone all together.

I do consider myself a Christian, I believe in God and Jesus Christ as my savior and that's whats important to me. I also attend Church services most Sunday
