Take Care of Your Name

My Dad.

I liked hearing my dad say my name. He would call me Jess.

He’s passed now but I can still hear in my mind how it sounded when he would say it.

When I think about it, I like it when people say my name in general.

It’s such a simple thing to say someone’s name and fill it with kind thoughts and nice feelings.

I was not raised to understand the value that a person’s name has to them or that a name needs to be protected and maintained. I didn’t know that everything you are gets packed into the letters and sound of your name. 

I haven’t always been careful with my name but I’m working on it.

Thank you for reading.
