How would you write these phrases in Latin??
My baby boy died last year , and I would like to have a Tattoo with a Latin inscription. His name is Latin and is Caelum, which means heavenly and on his headstone we wrote sic itur ad astra which means such is the way to the stars.....
Some ideas I had for a tattoo are;
With little wings he took to the stars
or
I see his refection in my husbands face.
or
I look into my husband's face and I can see my son.
Can anyne translate these for me into latin and/or give me any other ideas for latin words I could use ??
Thankyou ..

Ad astra alulis volavit. = He flew to the star on little wings. Alula is the diminuative of ‘ala’, the normal word for wing.
In facie mariti imaginem suam video. = In the face of my husband I see his image.
Faciem mariti aspicio et filium videre possum. = I look on the face of my husband and I am able to see my son.
Hope these help.
Sorry to learn of the circumstances but here are some suggestions…
Sursum in caelestem locum pinnis parvis subvolavit.
He flew up into the heavenly place on little wings.
Ad astra pinnis parvis volavit.
He flew to the stars on little wings.
Faciem mariti conspiciens, vultum tamen filii video.
Though looking upon the face of my husband, nevertheless it is the image of my son that I see.
