Relay for Life →
Hey all, sorry I haven’t been on in awhile but I just sorta needed some time to be on my own but I don’t know if I’ll be coming back to this account any time soon but I have something really important to ask and I hope you all take a moment to considerate what I’m asking.
Hey guys, I don’t normally do this and I fell a little weird asking but here goes: I am participating in Relay for Life at my university, it’s an all night walk-a-thon to raise cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society to help fund cancer research and hopefully find some cures for some of the most devastating cancers. I’m doing this for my mother who died of breast cancer when I was only 6 and for my aunt, her sister, who is fighting breast cancer now. I’m also doing it for me and my sister and our future children and for everyone else out there because any of us might have to one day fight this too and might need the support that organizations like the American cancer Society can give. So I ask for a humble donation of $5, if not for me do it for someone who you know who had or had cancer, a family member or a friend.I don’t know if it works for people outside of the USA but if any of you could find it in your hearts to donate I would greatly appreciate it. not just me either but thousands of people who suffer from cancer would too. This is the only time I will ask for money, I promise and if it weren’t for something I didn’t believe in I wouldn’t ask.

“Hey dudes, been awhile.”
“I like Alyaksandr…but it is a more traditional name…”
“You can change it to Alexander, if you want. How about if it’s a girl?” He poked at her stomach.
“I…am not sure. I have not put much thought into it as you have, Alfred.” she tipped her head so she could put a kiss on his chin.
He blushed. “Shucks, I don’t have any ideas for a girl though. I mean, I like my not really sister’s name Amelia, but I dunno.”
“Amelia? But it is wishing ill upon a person to name your baby for them.”
“Really? Here it’s kind of an honorable thing. Naming your baby after them shows your deep respect for that person.”
“I understand that…but I cannot shake the idea I would be wishing ill them.” Amelia was a cute name but…it didn’t quite feel right either.
“I can’t understand that. Cultural differences, it’s cool we’ll just avoid the names of anyone we know.”
She nodded once. “Have you not given any thought to names for a little girl?”
“Well, honestly, not really. Can you blame me? Every man believes that he’s gonna have a boy, someone to teach sports to, someone to teach respect to. I do kinda like the name Iris, it’s different and pretty, or Angela.”
“Iris…is that not part of the eye?” It was a light bit of teasing this time. “How do you feel about Irina?”
He chuckled. “It’s also a good song.” He blinked. “Irina? It’s nice.”
“It was the first child I cared for…” Natalia turned her head to set it on his chest. “She was the strongest human I have ever met.”
“But won’t it be bad luck or something?” He held her close. “She must’ve been something special.”

“Hey dudes, been awhile.”
She shifted a little so she was more in his lap, leaning against his chest than on his side. He was a very comfortable pillow, and she would exploit it as much as she pleased. She’d grown so much that she couldn’t quite pull her legs up anymore, so she let her hands sit on it insead.
“Names?”
“Well yeah babe, we can’t go around calling our baby child or hey you!”
“I know that…I just had not thought much on it…is all..”
“Well, now you will”
“I suppose I will….but you have thought of it yes?”
“Ummm, kinda?” He grinned and scratched the back of his head. “If it were a boy I kinda like Aiden or James.”
She tilted her head back to look at him. “I saw your many lists with things scribbled out….is there a reason those names stick for you?”
He shrugged. “Just like ‘em I guess. What about you? There has to be a name you like.”
