A Special Name

A SPECIAL NAME My mom never had much thought about my name. So when it came time for me to be born. Into this world short,fat and hair the color of corn. But my dad said"he wouldn't be the blame". The first name my mom thought of was Teresa. I was named after no aunts or granny's or any other. Not even named after my mother. But my dad really liked the name Lisa. The doctor looked at me and said"oh what a face". I wasn't named after an angel or a saint. I was so big she almost had to faint and all dad could do was pace. I love the name my mama gave me. Middle name is Ann after my granny Ann. Mama says I look like her side of the clan. Her love made me be what I should be. Teresa Skyles Entered in Linda-Marie's"what's in a name"contest

Teresa is a lovely name and I think of St. Teresa and Mother Teresa as some of the world's greatest women. They chose the perfect name for you, dear. Best wishes in the contest! Love, Carolyn
