Five years ago tonight Jeremy walked back into our hospital room before Hope had arrived and said "Can we change her name?" Her name had been Emma since we had known she would be a girl. I wasn't pleased with this idea. He had come back injured from his first 1 year + tour and was going through a rough time getting ready to go back in a few months. It was the start of several very tough years for him. He said "I need a little Hope in my life." Who could say no to that? Our Hope was born a few hours later and I've always thought it was the best name we could have given her.
