#momento mori
The tooth fairy leaves a coin under your pillow.
Grievers leave two coins on your eyes when you die.
These events are not unrelated.
She leaves a coin and takes a bone because she is your first reminder of your mortality.
She takes the first bones your body will lose and in exchange she gives you your first coins.
Like a child you lose them, or spend them - but they will return to you….
…in time.
Your body changes… ages… and your teeth -the only bones to have seen the world-
- taste it -
are your first reminder.
Childhood ends.
No matter how long you are a child.
A really quick #unusannus fanart before the end. Probably about an hour to do with water colors. I didn’t start at the beginning, but I am here until the end. #WeWereHere#UnusAnnusisoverparty#momentomori
Thank you so much for the memories.
Twins, who made it to about nine months old but who passed away within 2 days of each other. From a small rural cemetery South of Petty, Texas.
suffice to say I don’t really miss you anymore
