, my right shoulder blade, at the back - that's where we begin. There are five red roses, each in a different stage of growth: one small one that represents my 9-year-old, then a bigger one for my 12-year-old, another for my 18-year-old, and two larger ones that represent me and my wife. One closed rosebud represents my baby boy he passed away about 20 years ago. A slightly larger rose petal next to the rosebud represents my mother, who passed away four years ago. Rosary beads weave through the roses and leaves; from the rose bush, the beads flow over my right shoulder, curve across my right chest, then swing back over my shoulder, wrapping around my upper arm down to my right elbow, where the cross for my faith hangs. The cross hangs in such a way that when I move my arm, it moves with it - giving the illusion that the cross swings as my arm moves." ↓
