Love 

You

A friend shared with me recently why she named her daughter Emily. How delightful! We christened our Emily by this name for a few reasons:

• It honoured Don’s deceased mother

• My deeply-loved Opa’s name was Max Emil

• In Chinese, Ai(爱) is love; Mei (美) is beauty; Li (力) is strength or power – I May Lee is how it would be pronounced and how I often liked to say her name, loving her Chinese heritage, and recognising how each of those words pertained perfectly to who she was and how I felt about her

So now I have another reason to love the name of Emily, the name we gifted our forever-loved daughter.
