On Dec. 22, 2022 I minted very special @0xDecaArt MattKaneArtist Etch & Lifts. 50 years ago on this day my life changed 4 ever at the age of 2. My father passed from Cancer Dec. 22nd, 1972. The exact time of death is when this Etch has been minted, 50 years later.
This Etch & Lifts 'spirits' have been derived from my art memorial NFT I created in his honor for myself & my family.
My mother whom was a stay at home mother at the time was left widowed at only 38 years of age with 3 children. She could not afford a marker for my father's grave. I think that NFTs, Ethereum block chain & DecaArt and Matt Kane's Etch is a fitting way to give a memorial.
The more I thought about this, the more I knew this was the perfect way to honor his memory for myself & our family. After all, if you think about it our DNA is really a 4 digit code represented by 4 nucleotides that make up our genetic code: A, T, G, & C
By minting this NFT & creating a 'digital spirit' of it through Etch I have effectively 'Etched' the memory of my father into the block chain of code for future generations for ♾ I like to think of this as a digital 'CryptoArtloom'

I have created a @0xDecaArt square called Memorial for anyone wishing to honor the memory of loved ones or any once living organism. Posted galleries don't have to be Etches & Lifts, but it is a wonderful way to do it. You can find it here: [https://deca.art/sq/Memorial}(https://deca.art/sq/Memorial)
I invite the children of @ExperienceCamps to create their own personal Etch spirit 'CryptoArtlooms' for the memory of their loved ones & their families. Maybe the children of codeartorg can create custom NFTs for the children that would like to derive them from custom NFTs 🤔
I have created cc0 'template' images NFTs that can be used freely to create memorials. 1 that was used here with transparent heart & another with the heart etched in the stone monument. They can be found here on @objkt.com / @tezos network:
I would like to also remind everyone that they can also still Lift & donate to the great efforts of non-profits @ExperienceCamps & @CODEART along with @Replate & @watsi here: https://deca.art/sq/gift-with-lift
