When you asked the question about when the life of a child begins I remembered when I was dating my husband-to-be. I had decided on a name for my first child, and when I asked him if he liked the name, he told me it was the same name as his father. In his tradition, they always name the grandchild after one of the grandparents (living or deceased). My husband also has the same name as his grandfather. I felt as though the soul of our son was making himself known to us, even before our engagement. Later we were married and we did indeed have a boy, who is beautiful in every way. Reply
