A close photograph of a hand held in a loose fist, showing the inner wrist where the words Philippians 4:13 are written in a black script font. The lettering has a medium weight with slightly uneven strokes and sits horizontally across the wrist. The skin tone is neutral and the background is a dark textured carpet, with the ink appearing as solid black and grey.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit yourselves down, the lot of you, and leave the bride's cake alone for five minutes, because this is the true one, and it's about a man who was asked to lift something he couldn't. That was Harold Greave, who laid bricks for the council and had a bad back by thirty. The night before Ivy Thwaite's wedding in Holmfirth, the church hall roof let in the rain, the trestles went down like skittles, and Harold was the only one daft enough to say he'd have it sound by morning.

He didn't sleep. He sat on an upturned bucket with a stub of pencil and a scrap of tea chest cardboard, and he wrote out the words his mother had stitched on a sampler above the mangle: I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. He wrote them small, then large, then copied them onto the inside of his wrist with the ink from his dad's fountain pen, because he said a man ought to carry his promises where he could see them.

By first light the roof was patched with tar and two sheets of corrugated iron. Ivy's father shook his hand. Harold only nodded, because his arms were trembling and his wrist had gone soft with sweat.

The cake, I'm told, went up the chapel steps on Harold's own two palms, and not a crumb of it fell. Ivy keeps the top tier pressed under glass in her hallway still. Mind your feet on the step, and pass that knife along.
