Good morning,
I am looking for tattoo ideas in memory of my late father.
I was thinking maybe there is a phrase or line from a poem representing the sorrow or loss of a parent/father out there.
I would also think of doing something like "Father, you are forever missed" or "I miss you father".
Andy suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance,
Colleen

My grandfather used to call me a name in Gaelic, and I have NO IDEA how to spell it, let alone say it correctly.
Bashteen is how it was said in English.
Is there anything relating to that? "Bad little Girl" or "trouble maker"?

How would "My heart is broken, Father" translate?
