my sister's bridal mehandi

bridal mehandi, typically covering the entire forearm, with a drawing of the bride on one hand and the groom on the other. the name of the groom is hidden in this intricate collage [usually behind the engagement ring] so the groom needs to hunt for his name, and in the process admire the mehandi!

frumpy, you will be missed [a tribute].

we will miss your big strumpy bobby head.
we will miss opening the front door to your ever so grumpy meows.
we will miss entering the building and seeing you and robert gazing, tails entwined.
we will miss you getting tangled with our feet and making us trip.
i will miss running down before nash to spend two minutes with you.

and most of all, we wish we were there.
frumpy, we love you.
may you rest in peace.
