This is Anna’s tattoo:

It’s basically a reminder to live life and to experience it and spend time with those I love, and to spend time doing what I love.

“Hershel did not possess a family of his own. He was not such a special person. He loved to read very much, and also to write. He was a poet, and he exhibited me many of his poems. I remember many of them. They were silly, you could say, and about love. He was always in his room writing those things, and never with people. I used to tell him, What good is all that love doing on paper? I said, Let love write on you for a little. But he was so stubborn. Or perhaps he was only timid.”

- Excerpt from Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.

I just spent the day cleaning out my grandmother’s house and I found the whole quote scribbled on a piece of paper in my handwriting. I must have written it 5 years ago and couldn’t for the life of me remember where I got it, so I googled “poet let love write on you” and this was the first thing that came up. Crazy timing, if it had been a week ago, I never would have found this. Made me smile :)
It’s a beautiful piece and a beautiful sentiment.
