on the day that odin was born, some friends of the family took care of ruby so that gina and diane could come to the hospital. ruby knew that kris was sick and that she and odin would be the the hospital for a long time so she decided to make him a very special piece of art to help cheer him up.

the artwork was hung next to his radiant warming bed when he was only two or three days old and hung near his bed for the entirety of his 96 days in the intensive care unit.

we had the piece professionally mounted and framed so he could enjoy it for years to come, and today odin had a chance to see it for the first time in while since being taken to the framing gallery.

clearly he’s quite happy to have it back!
