Forever Frost
What’s in a name?
Whether you pick a name because it has been in the family forever or you go with one for the way it sounds, names are incredibly important. And personal. We did not pick particularly common names, each of our daughters has a first name picked because we liked it.
“But does it have a special meaning?” I’ve been asked.
Of course it does, it is the name we picked, that is special. Forever.
On April 30th of this year, Finley Frost was born. Her first name was picked as a name that simply felt right, fitting in perfectly with the names of her sisters, Briar Davie and Avery Adams.
Davie came from my grandfather. Adams came from the place Sean and I met. Frost came from Sean’s grandmother, Carolyn Frost.
Moments ago, as Finley Frost gurgled on the sofa, one tiny fist at her mouth and a shock of dark hair tickling her eyelashes, the phone rang. It was Sean.
“She’s gone.”
Tonight, shortly after Sean arrived at her bedside, Carolyn Frost passed away.
Sweet dreams, Carolyn.
We will miss you and remember you forevermore.
