always
wanted
my
mother's
name
tattooed.
I
have
been
indecisive
about
it
for
years.
The
moment
finally
felt
right.
She's
inked
exactly
where
she's
supposed
to
be,
on
my
heart.
1955
signifies
the
year
she
was
born
&
now
with
me

responsibility
to
live
up
to
my
mother's
legacy."
He
added
that
while
people
may
see
that
as
a
burden,
"I
will
not
call
it
that.
If
it's
seen
as
a
weight
on
my
shoulders,
I'd
say
it's
one
that
I
am
proud
of.
I
will
carry
it
till
my
last
breath
with
absolute
pride."
