For my Aunt

Front: Aunt Lori, Mom, Aunt Lisa and Uncle Keith in the back

Yesterday my Aunt Lori lost her fight with Ovarian Cancer.  Her funeral will be on Friday.  My folks are in San Jose and I am home, because facing emotionally disturbed kids at work is something I am afraid I wouldn't be able to do.  So, I decided to create a manicure in her honor.  There is not a lot I can do to prepare and to show my love for her, but I can do this.  But before I do, I thought I would tell you a little about her.  My Aunt Lori is one of the strongest people I know.  She is strong in her faith and will not hesitate to share her testimony.  She was never married or had kids, but she leaves behind nieces and nephews who will carry the love she showed them in their hearts until they are rejoined with her in the next life.  I am so grateful to know that this is not goodbye, but an, "Until I can join you." 

I did this with Bundle Monster BM-307.  The polishes were China Glaze Don't Be A Luna-tic and Nabi Neon Blue.

Doing the butterflies in the holographic polish made them rather difficult to photograph, so in the shade is the best way to see them.

But oh what the sun does for them.

I can't forget my thumb.

Ovarian cancer is horrible and devastating.  But, I am so grateful I could see her before she passed.  On Saturday I did her fingernails and toenails.  We embraced and were able to talk a little in between the times she slept.  I love you dearly Aunt Lori and I will honor you the best I can until we meet again.
