Minus One Son

A site dedicated to our son Marcus Manny. Hopefully through this blog we can persuade people from driving while distracted. Hoping we can convince people to turn their vehicles into Phone Free Zones. Hoping that we can show that Distracted Driving is a harmful phenomenon with devastating effects. We pray that by sharing our loss and experiences, we can prevent people from making the same mistake our son made and in turn save lives and families from immeasurable grief.

Tattoo

I have shared the middle image above, in this earlier post. Ever since Marcus passed I knew I wanted a tattoo in remembrance of him.

I had a design in mind. We even had Jenny (she is the Jenny in the note that Alex wrote above) redesign an angel with Marcus' face. The angel tattoo will will be for the future, but I knew once I was ready for a tattoo, Alex's chalk on paper sketch was it.

When I posted this same pic on FaceBook - the original picture-taker had this to say. "I took that at my parent's house... Summer of 2005. We had a spontaneous dance party and I snapped a picture of him. Really happy memories." Thank you so much Ms. Chloe!

So from an innocent enough picture. To an inspired sketch by our youngest. To my arm. Forever.
