Recently, Follin asked if we could make bracelets that say the name of the name I've never shared (that I'm aware of?) that we use freely at home as if she were here.

As if we ever got to meet her.

The name of who we had hoped she'd be.

We saw the idea on "I Am Georgina".

("Soy Geo!" I scream around the house, claiming I'm now fluent in Spanish thanks to 3 binged seasons on Netflix- which annoys my husband who actually IS fluent- "Para.... Um... Que? Para Geo!")

When Georgina Rodriguez shared about losing one of her twins at birth (something I can't possibly relate to to that magnitude), she got 6 angel-shaped bracelets for her children and her love to remember their baby, Angel, forever.

"We should do that Momma!” Follin said, something glittering within her blue-yellow-green eyes, "You should have the right to do that. You shouldn't have to pretend it doesn't hurt."
