Baby Lillian

Baby Lillian

A few nights ago my librarian texted me, she had her baby and was wondering how to spell my name. 

For months her daughter keeps telling her, “Please mom, have a daughter.  You need to name her Lili so she will be beautiful like Lili.” 

I thought that was so cute, but it was just something a six year old would say. 

So I was surprised when I got a text about a baby being born that was as beautiful as me.  Then asking the correct spelling of my Palagi name-Lillian. 

I may be leaving my village at the end of the year, but a little Lillian will stay.
