In recent weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching the amazing work that all of you do in modifying Ethan's creations. Just when I think I've seen it all, someone presents something new and amazing.
That being said, I never really anticipated doing a mod myself. I like Uncle Ethan's creations so much as they are that I knew it would take something fairly significant to inspire me to modify one of them (beyond perhaps buying a new set of scales at some point). That inspiration came recently....
A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I learned that we were expecting our first child. We were humbled and elated. Last week, we learned that we had lost the baby. We were humbled and devastated. However, we have been continually blessed by an outstanding support network through church and our work and have been continually reminded how great God is. We are still hurting, but in the short time since we learned the bad news, there have been several positives that have come out of it. So, even though we are hurting, we are truly blessed.
I started trying to think of what I could do as a tribute to our lost child. The inspiration came when my wife told me that people referred to a miscarried child as an "angel baby." I think it hit me when I was looking through one of the BK11 mods floating around right now and then got to thinking about the new BK14 I recently purchased. I went through a few different designs and here is my design:
