The Secret Behind My Name
The Secret Behind My Name

The place is quiet…so peaceful…there is a dead silence all around. Then suddenly, a train of thoughts runs back through my mind… July 15, a healthy child was born. That was I, Sandy Vhir . Nice name isn’t it? But do you know where did I got my name? Hmmmm… Well, I’ll tell you the story ….

After my mother gave birth on me, my father went out to buy foods for my mother, just then, when he passed by on a store where people were having fun singing a song in a karaoke, he saw his friend and was convinced to sang. My father just picked a rolled paper with the number of the song and the song played with the title “Beautiful Sunday”. What a coincidence because it is a beautiful Sunday for the Dineros family because they have a newborn baby girl on that day on. Minutes past, my father hurriedly went back to the hospital having an idea on his mind and then he immediately told my mother to changed what they have planned to named me because there is a perfect name that I should be named to. And that’s why they named me “Sandy” the day that I was born and as a proof of their love, they agreed to put the name “ Vhir”, taken from the name of my parents, Virgilio and Veronica, they just changed the spelling to make it more unique.

And that’s it! That’s how Sandy Vhir came to be. Hope you like the story behind my name… How about you, what’s your

    weather was never over 85° and milk was more expensive then gas. My whole name is Helen Lonsdale Torrey but I always just liked Lonnie. My name is from a tradition in our family that has been in practice since the 1820s. The first daughter of the first daughter is named after the grandmothers middle name and that daughters middle name was the maiden name of the grandmother. Every generation the name Helen is exchanged for Hetty of the first born daughter. There is a silver cup with all of the names and dates of birth of those first born daughters; I am on that cup to be remembered forever.…

    Today is one of those unusually quiet evenings, and sometimes, it’s so quiet it becomes frightening. It reminds me of a storm. At first, it sneaks up on you quietly, then the storm intensifies, rushing through cities, towns, or whatever is in its path, leaving behind devastation and desolation. That sense of desolation is what I fear the most, and that’s what it feels like now.…

    As I sit in Goshen Lounge, I see and hear many things happening around me. I am close to many other people and the doorways to various stores. As the people walk by me there is a small gust of wind from behind them that feels like when a car drives by you on the road. This place is so very calm. A few people sit down next to me, and they all chat quietly while drinking Starbucks. Everyone that is walking through the lounge and talking with their friends seems to be having a good time just hanging out. Most people are smiling. I hear people whispering and laughing. One student walks quickly with an unhappy look on his face. Some people are sitting here listening to their iPod and studying. The quiet buzz from their iPods is calming. With everything going on in this one single room it still seems very quiet and peaceful to me.…
