I still have my married name, which I only took so I would have the same name as my children it meant nothing to me. I was not property, it was just easier to have the same name.
My children are grown and are taking on new names. I have kept my last name because I would not go back to my maiden name. And quite frankly I like the energy of my name, it is who I am.
I changed my first name a few years ago so I know the importance of names. I know what it means to change your name and thus your identity.
I never thought I would change my last name again.
And then... something changed.
For the right person, a person I decided to share a family with, a life with; if their name was important to them I would change. I would gladly take their name and share a common bond within our family. It would be our commitment to each other, to our family, to our lives together.
Yes, I will gladly take your name.
