I was intending to write this a few days ago, but I was too busy to have some time to sit down and focus. Back then, I was listening to Andrea Bocelli while I was doing some house work, and that song came, one of my favourites "Ave Maria". I have always loved virgin Mary, she's so close to my heart, that even the chapter titled by her Arabic name "Mariam" is my favourite in the Quran. I wanted to name my girl after her, but, there was only one problem, I like names that end with vowels!! Listening to that song, it came to my mind, I will name you "Maria"! What an idea, where has it been for so long! I feel so excited now, and I wish I can hug you.
With all my excitement, my mother returned home after a long day, so I decided I should tell her about my decision, and then I get the worst reaction ever! Seems that we will never get together! She doesn't like the name! And what she told me was "Are you converting to Christianity too?!", "Maria" is the Hebrew similar to Mariam. Of course, she's already upset I took off my veil two weeks ago, that's because she doesn't understand my point. Well, she's not the only one. There's one thing you need to know about your mother dear, I always come up with the craziest ideas, to the rest of the world, which after a while they find out they were the wisest! A curse of mine, I have to fight the whole world all the time for that! But, I decided not even to care, because one day they will understand.
Now, your name is Maria, and I am in love with it. My only wish now is that I manage to give you that name legally. And, for your grandmother, she decided to call you "Mariam"!
I was planning to start the legal journey yesterday, but I was too tired and depressed. I will do that starting next week hopefully.
Love you Maria :)
