  1. My son is named after my grandfather. He has always been around to help me at any time. I have been told my whole life, kids were not an option. And when I needed a surgery to excise stage 4 endometriosis, and couldn’t pay for it. My grandfather stepped up. While Ronald is an old fashioned name, we affectionately call our babe Ronnie! It’s so wonderful to have a baby named after a family member.

  2. he’s a junior, named after his daddy ?
