My ink tells my story. I have experienced quite a bit of loss in my life, and my ink is my therapy. Hard to elaborate with a couple of words

My most recent tattoo is my Medusa tattoo on my right hand. Medusa represents resilience. I have experienced many hardships in my life which includes losing my only daughter to cancer 6 years ago. My mother is currently dealing with the late stages of Huntington's. I proudly represent my Medusa tattoo for the strongest women I know.
If your ink could speak, what would it say?Good question. It would probably say something sarcastic like, "Girl, who hurt you?" Or " Damn, you need to moisturize more."
What would you do with the $25,000?I would get an attachment to be able to put a wheelchair in the back of my car, so I can take my mom out more. When you have a wheelchair sticking out of your trunk, the looks you get when people pass you up are crazy.... Definitely get that dent out of my car. And I would absolutely LOVE to go to Salem during Halloween!
