What's In A Name

Upon finding out that we were going to be blessed with a son in May, Josh and I began the daunting task of naming our child. We struggled with the idea of using a family name, or using a name completely out of the ordinary. We decided to honor two of the most amazing individuals, who have blessed our lives in so many ways. We decided upon the name Jason Robert Price.

Jason

We decided up on Jason as a tribute to Josh's brother who passed away a few years ago. We have so many great memories of Jason, so many laughs and great moments. This name was especially important to my husband. Josh was incredibly close to his brother, he was more of a father to him. Jason taught Josh everything from how to ride on a motorcycle, to fixing trucks. He was always there for us any time we needed him, but he was above all an amazing father. Jason loved his little girls more than the entire world, and we are hoping we can be half as wonderful as he was.

Robert

The name Robert has very special meaning to me.  Shortly after I found out we were expecting our little bundle of joy, my Uncle Bob (Robert) passed away. My Uncle was by far one of the most motivating people in my life. When I was 11 years old he put a camera in my hands and told me I could be whatever I wanted. I spent hours with at book stores, or walking around the mall. He was such an amazing, caring and insightful person. He loved his kids and his wife tremendously! My Uncle was decorated Veteran, a Honored Police Officer, and the funniest man I know. I have a huge tote full of cards he sent me over the years. He was just an absolute inspiration to everyone who knew him. When I found out about the sad news of his passing, I looked at Josh and told him, I wanted to give Jason the middle name of Robert. Josh agreed completely because he knew what an inspiration my Uncle was to me.

Today would have been Bob's 68th birthday. I miss him more and more every single day. I hope you are having a wonderful birthday in Heaven! Love your niece!
