I didn't know they shared a feast day.
When I named my little first saint in heaven Jude, it just seemed like the right name for him. He was, I thought, impossible...so long prayed for...so hard fought for and loved. And just like that, he was gone. His name is Jude.
The twins were unnamed for long time. Naming your unborn children who you will never meet on earth is emotionally draining, to say the least. But they needed names, and the names came to me. Simon and Celeste.
Our latest little flower (in July) was Veronica. She who imprints the face of Christ.
I knew that Jude's name day was coming up, but I was shocked when I started seeing the name Simon with his. They share a name day. How amazingly cool is that?
