I wanted to reflect on the gospel reading a couple of days ago but with being sick and getting ready for Christmas I wasn't really able. So I am going to do a couple of posts today the first being about the naming of John.
When we were deciding what to name Nicholas I knew very early on that I wanted to name him after his daddy. Nick has been my best friend since I was 16, he has been my whole world and stuck by me in the best and worst years of my life. He has been my partner in everything and he helps me get to heaven. I couldn't think of a better person to name my little boy aftern and I wanted so much to give my son the gift of his father's name.
Nick on the other hand, wasn't totally on board. I think for a man there is pride in their name but in Nick's case his modesty wouldn't let him name his son after himself. After much thought and meditation I wrote Nick a long letter telling him how I felt. I told him how much I loved him and how important he was to me. I gave it to him as a Christmas present (a gift he couldn't take back lol).
My husband is my my partner and my best friend, I think it is a great gift that the world is blessed to have two Nick Dunaways!
