Sinatra, a tattoo, a promise and my cuddle cat

Tattoo_FlyMeToTheMoon.jpg


Hello Hivers, silver bloggers, and music lovers!

Today is Tuesday, and it's the day I usually join the #threetunetuesday initiated by @ablaze. But this Tuesday, although I will join the #ttt, it will be a bit different, and that's why I've decided to publish this post on Silver Bloggers.

Those who follow me know that these days are a carousel of emotions for me because my son, thanks to a scholarship, is about to go abroad to study.

A promise we had made to each other some time ago, when we didn't know he would be leaving so soon, was that we would both tattoo a moon in the same place.

Why a moon? I used to have a CD in the car with some Sinatra songs when my son was about 9 years old. He loved to listen to that Cd, but especially Fly me to the moon. He would put it on loop, and we would both sing it while listening to it over and over again in the traffic on our way home.

One afternoon during the pandemic, we were talking about that time. He hadn't finished high school at the time, but we were talking about how he would eventually leave home. We laughingly promised each other that we would always remember those days when we used to listen to Fly me to the moon all the time and that we should get a tattoo of a moon when he left home. The day is coming, and I am a woman of my word. The husband used to roll his eyes when he heard the plan, but at the last minute has decided to join us, and he also got a tattoo.

But the promised moon became a moon with a cat because life evolves. Our family has a new member, the little Grogu. He can't be tattooed but was an inspiration for the tattoo. And the moon became a moon with a cat.

The tattoo

I must say that this is my first tattoo, and I was a bit nervous about the idea. But it hurt less than I thought it would, and although I wouldn't get another one, I'm glad I did it.

And although we don't need a tattoo to know that our bond is unbreakable despite the physical distance, I know it will be nice to be able to look at our arms when we miss each other.

The Three Tune Tuesday

And of course, you don't have to guess to know that today I'm going to share some Sinatra songs in this #ttt. For those of you who don't know about #ttt, let me tell you what it's all about. In the words of Ablaze:

The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #ttt or #threetunetuesday tags that would be great. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

You can find out more at [ablaze's post for this Tuesday](https://peakd.com/hive-193816/@ablaze/best-of-1967-for-three-tune-tuesday-week-67 with his recommendations for this week, the #67.

So without further ado, here are my three tunes for today.

Tune 1 - Fly me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra

The first one is Fly me to the Moon, and you already know why. This song is from the 1950s, and the original name was In other words. Sinatra's version was released in 1964.

Tune No.2 - Come Fly with me - Frank Sinatra

I'm sure you've heard this one many times before. Come Fly with me was written for Sinatra and his album of the same name in the late 50s. But I'm sure you remember it from the movie Catch Me If You Can, starring Leonardo Di Caprio.

Tune No.3 - Nothing But The Best - Frank Sinatra

And to close, I'm going with this song that I've always found very optimistic, Nothing but the best.

And we all deserve the best, right?

So here are my recommendations for today. From this Silvery, who from today is a Tattooed Silvery ;)

Thank you very much for reading!

Enjoy the music, enjoy life!

Tattoo, I'd been planning to have one but could not decide what design as I don't like to just put an ink on my body without meaning. I mean just like yours. (The husband won't let me too unless it's his name😂😂😂)
I know most of the time every tattoos had a significance.

I like Frank Sinatra. I maybe still young but I am into old music. But the most popular song or his in our country is "My way".

Hi Lhes!
Getting a tattoo with no meaning is pointless. Haha! and I don't think it's a good idea to get someone's name tattooed, lol unless it's one of your kids. Because the day you get upset with your husband you might see the tattoo and the anger will take longer to subside 😂
My Way is one of Sinatra's best-known songs and I love it.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Haha exactly 😂, that is why better not to have a tattoo if just hubby's name😂.

You know that "my way" was almost banned here in the Phillipines? It was even taken off in some playlist in video😂.

That was after numerouse violence happened because of that song😂

Wow!!! really? it's a bit surprising because My Way is not a song that calls for violence.
It's weird how the same thing can inspire different reactions to people.

You made me cry. I know your rollercoaster and I have no doubt you will all be shedding some tears - happy and sad - as one chapter ends and a new begins for you all. What wonderful memories and memories in the making. I wish you godspeed as you travel to Colombia with your son, and the same for him as he travels on to Chicago. May the wind always be at his back.

Aww, Fiona 💙 There will be very emotional days. I've been shedding a tear or two for weeks now. And it will be hard to say goodbye to him in Colombia. And this weekend will be hard for my mum, my son is her eldest grandson and the one she is closest to, and it won't be easy for her.
Thank you so much for your lovely wishes 🤗

It is really a difficult time for parents when their kids leave them but for their progress the decision has to be taken happily.

The tattoo idea is crazy. Huuuh! Giving me chills. But you finally did it. This mark will remind all of you about the time spent together and promise fulfilled....

By the way whose idea was that initially? Yours or your son's?

My son's idea when we talked the first time was to get a tattoo to remember that time, then I suggested that we both get one, and he immediately said yes! one of the same and in the same place, hehe ;)
But when we had that conversation, I don't know if I was aware that the moment would come :)

The design is cool and well when the reddened skin healed I'll take a picture of it so you can see the white details they've done to the cat to make it look like Ageese.🌙😺

I know you are here for me Super Ed, and I really appreciate it 🤗💙.

Hello Super Ed!!! good morning

I have to comment on Ageese's post, I saw it last night and it gave me so much laughter, but I was exhausted to even write Hello!!!. Rodrigo went out with friends and had several of them here last night, I had the house full lol. And this morning I made breakfast, a couple of lunches to go because some of the friends already started classes, and now Rodrigo went to take each of them, and I am finally having a coffee while Ageese bites my feet as his uncle taught him. 😂😂🤣

I feel so emotional listening to Fly me to the moon and reading your story. I can imagine how you feel because I have a son and when I think about him leaving in the future I feel very nostalgic and my stomach hurts. I am delighted with your idea for tattoo! I wish you a lot of happy days together and a lot of success for him in his studies!🤗🥰

@coquicoin Wow - this post is so touching on so many counts. I loved to read the bond you enjoy with your son - connected to memories when he was 9 years old and you both enjoyed listening to the same song. Getting a tattoo for a promise made is a courageous act - I am really scared of the pain and therefore, admire you for getting one.
I can understand how you feel about your son going away. We always understand that little birds have to spread their wings and fly but when the time actually comes, it gets very difficult to remain logical and an emotional rollercoaster results.
Last but not the least - I love the name Grogu for your cat!!😀

Hello, thank you very much for your kind words, and sorry for the late reply. These days have been quite hectic in more ways than one. I was afraid to get the tattoo because of the pain, but a promise is a promise, and it hurt less than I thought it would. And it is the law of life that birds leave the nest.
Cheers! and thank you again! 😊

No way, that is so cool, and I love the tattoos - they turned out great and it is so sweet that you got the same one and I also love Frank Sinatra's music, it is velvet for my ears.
