Description: Started this chalkboard app drawing on my phone while I was sitting with mom at the hospital and she was sleeping. Added in the boat, birds and starfish to finish it up after she recently passed away. The starfish is a nod to my starfish lady, Susie Davis. When I was 4 our ward (ie. congregation) went on a trip to the beach. She found me in tears at the edge of the water over a starfish in the sand.

She used to remind me of the event fondly and call me her starfish girl.
