As I was walking through the decor section of
T.J. Maxx with my daughter the other day, I came across a Vitruvian Man Collection sculpture. I loved the fingers crossed design and was ecstatic to see that it was only $10.00! I quickly tried to reason with myself that it would serve no purpose and wasn't worth the ten dollars. As I continued to browse the aisles, this same sculpture continued to present itself. Surely taking it as a sign that I was meant to purchase this item - I put it in the cart (at the same time I found myself handing my daughter the 'Coraline' movie).
Once I got home, I read the tag attached which said that the fingers crossed was often used as a gesture for good luck or making a wish. Immediately, Makalah's summertime wishing upon dandelions came to mind. I knew that this sculpture was a way for me to create a lasting memory of my daughter. A memory of the most beautiful, unselfish little girl - who, when making a wish - asks for world peace.
