Family Portrait

Illustration representating my husband, my daughter and me.
Here is a portrait of my little family. The illustration represents some values of our family: love, unity, environment and respect.

The story of our small diamond heart (symbol of our love)

In 2018, on Valentine’s Day, I decided to propose to my spouse. I already knew that he was “the man of my life” when I decided to have a child, my little girl, with him. On the other hand, the challenges of parenthood and other difficult events in my life made me realize that I had truly found someone wonderful to share the ups and downs. I wanted to form a family in a more symbolic sense with him.

My spouse being a gamer, I made my marriage proposal inspired by a Diablo trade window. I had placed it as wallpaper on his computer, and I watched him out of the corner of my eye, a little stressed, to see his reaction. You can see two little diamond hearts, like the one in my new illustration. The little red heart represents his heart full of love which has helped me (and still helps me) to get through the difficulties. The little heart of gold was mine… a good and empathetic little heart.

My weeding proposal.

Since we both don’t like jewelry that much (he has sensitive skin; I don’t like to feel jewelry on my skin [so I take it off often] and, besides, I easily misplace my things ), we decided to get a couple tattoos (which will soon be bigger). We decided to use the little hearts to make our tattoos.

Finally, I also used the little golden heart for a gift I made for her birthday in 2020, if you are interested I made a blog post about it.
