Your post is a perfect follow up. I think a lot about the ways in which our parenting choices will be different as a result of our journey, and like you begin to describe, the concessions that we will make to support the bond between our children and their fathers. <br /><br />You are in my heart right now as you live this incredible life experience right now. Wish I could reach out and actually hug you - or maybe walk with you for a while. <br /><br />PS - Thanks for all your love and comments while I was away. It was so so nice to get a few minutes of cell coverage, download my emails onto my phone, and see your beautiful words waiting for me :).foxyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482866425915180237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-9054244832184501632010-08-06T14:35:05.118-04:002010-08-06T14:35:05.118-04:00awe, i love this post! :)

It's important not to underestimate a name's importance, it really does tie a family together. I wonder if you could consider giving your child your maiden name as a middle name? My husband and I kept his last name, but he wants my father's name to be our son's middle name, since I'm an only child and Dad's name "dies" out with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343507762021483707.post-27155731085717791142010-08-04T15:19:06.159-04:002010-08-04T15:19:06.159-04:00We are in a similar situation...CJ's brother h...We are in a similar situation...CJ's brother has all girls, his dad has only nieces, so us having a boy is the only way the family name will live on...BUT it may live on in a child that is not genetically realated to any of them.
