William comes from the Germanic origin “Wilhelm” and is made up of: wil = "will or desire" and helm = "helmet, protection". We called him our little warrior because he kept fighting on despite his challenges.
William is also named after his two uncles, Uncle Patrick (Liz’s brother) and Uncle Patrick (Tom’s brother).
William Patrick. We love how the two names complement each other and we were so happy to pick out the perfect name for our son. We choose his name with love and care.
To hear you speak and write his name means the world to us.
Thank you,
Liz and Tom
What a perfect name it is. Certainly William was an incredible warrior, and his name came from some pretty incredible people too. Love you. ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex :) Looking forward to seeing you!
ReplyDeleteWe have a plaque in our house that has that same quote on it. There is always a little piece of heaven in our home!
ReplyDeleteThis quote is so comforting, isn't it? They live on right besides us.
ReplyDeleteThere is a beautiful story behind this photo. An australian women sells these beach photos online. She writes the names of babies all over the world who have died in the sand, all in honor of her precious son who she lost years ago. While she writes the names in the sand, she says a little prayer and takes a photo. We have William on a wait list to get his name written in the sand. But I wanted this photo for the memorial service so she made it for me. Next time we are all together on the Cape we will have to write their names in the sand together. xoxo
I can't wait until we are all together on the Cape!
