Hello,

My husband wants to get a tattoo soon with the following: "My son, my life"
Could we get a translation for that? Really appreciate the help.

Thank you :)

Perhaps:

Mo mhac, mo chuid den saol. "My son, my life"

Here, cuid den saol literally "my share of life" is more idomatic than just saol in the context.

Await confirmation or correction ...
