The Importance of Names

When coach and I were dating and before we were engaged, we picked out the names of our future children. It seems a little strange, but I think we knew we wanted to have a family together. We had names; we were just waiting on our children to appear.
Ten years later we still have those names. Unfortunately we have three children who did not live long. We also have three different names than what we originally planned. 
We picked our children’s names with more thoughtfulness. We could not think of a name for our first baby. S/he will always be our first baby. When we found out our second child had been a girl, Coach searched for just the right name. He chose Ava. Ava means desired, and we desired her. Lastly, I chose our third child’s name. She was supposed to be born on Christmas Eve, so Eve seemed to be a fitting name. All three children are special. We look forward to meeting and holding them one day in Heaven.
