tattooTATTOO ARTIST:  Jared Wittler 

If you are from the Toledo/Bowling Green Area I highly recommend my tattoo artist, Jared Wittler. He works at Murder Ink Tattoo Co in Bowling Green, Ohio. It is located at 136 N. Main Street and their phone number is 419-353-5608. He is AWESOME and did an absolutely AMAZING Job. Thank you so much Jared for this wonderful, meaningful tattoo.

I know many of you have followed the story of our son, Jonah. If not, go here and you can read all Jonah’s Journey. Jonah has been a fighter since the day we got him, but back in November we found out he had a very rare heart condition. So rare, he is only the sixth person in the world with this condition.

After 3 heart catheterizations and many tests, it was decided he needed open heart surgery. He underwent this February 23, 2017 at the U of M Motts Children’s Hospital.

He has had a few hiccups in the road to recovery, but overall is doing well. His heart was going into junctional rhythm (an abnormal rhythm) quite frequently after surgery. As I have watched him battle I made the decision to get a tattoo.

I decided to put it on my wrist as that is where our pulse is checked.

I just LOVE it – looks better today after the swelling and redness is gone! A tribute to our son, Jonah, and his heart condition, our faith in God, and his LOVE of soccer!! I was going to put the cross at the end, but decided it needed to be at the beginning as Jonah started with God hearing our prayer for a boy. When the prayers started we had no idea our prayer would be answered through adoption, but it has been an amazing journey!!
