You told this story before and it's still a great story. I love that you rescued her.When my dad passed away in 1999, my family went to choose his memorial stone. This little angel girl was up against the building abandoned.
"What is she doing there? " i asked the owner.
"Oh, she was picked up from the East Orange Cemetery, the family is having her replaced with a new one because her wings are broken off. She was on some little kids grave who died in 1901. She's going into disposal."
"What?! She was protecting a child's grave for a hundred years....you can't throw her out!" I started tearing up.
"You want her?" he asked. "If you can move her, she's yours."
It took three of us, she weighs well over a hundred & fifty pounds. Now she resides in my garden amongst the lilies and the ferns. I think she likes it there... lots of people love to touch and pat her head as they pass in and out of the gate.
.............i just had to, if you can dig that. For well over a hundred years, she protected the body of a little child... and i have to protect her.

The first guitar I bought myself. 1993 American Standard Stratocaster. She's been modded a bit as well. Swapped out the pick-ups. This is my primary guitar.

On the wall behind the Charvel gold-top is a shadowbox of my bands first album that my sister made for me as well as a framed poster for the CD release party we had when the album came out.
