I just had to take a moment to cheer myself back up with a story. A true one. How I named my daughter. She loves her life in oration. She never tires of asking me to tell her a story. Well, this one is sweet.
I was driving in my car, which I love to do while listening to the radio and trying to think of a name for the girl inside me. I came across Natalie Cole's duet with her father Nat King Cole and the song and its significance chose Natalie. The song made me burst into tears in its beauty.
It gets more Unforgettable. My daughter's original due date was Christmas Day. She was born much earlier, but Natalie means Christmas. I just had to take a moment to share something sweet.
I just pulled the video up on YouTube to play for her, and my husband walked in while it was playing and knew why I was listening. I needed a little joy, and sharing this extra part of the story with my daughter seems appropriate. I have wandered around sad all day, and this very song was just the right dose of reason to smile.
