“For my 18 birthday I went and got a tattoo, it’s of two flowers that are intertwined with each other. One of them is my birth month flower which is September and the other one is my mom and my dad’s birth month flower which is January. I got the flowers because my dad used to get me flowers every year for my birthday until he passed away, since he passed away my mom gets me them every year now in honor of him.”
