Day 13: Does anyone else besides your speak your child's name?

My children.

My husband.

My mother.

My sister.

My really close friends.

Everyone else skirts around it.

I was telling an acquaintance my story Tuesday at a school volunteer training session. She is a fellow parent at the boys' school. She hadn't realized I had lost a child.  Usually, these encounters leave me exhausted. 
However, it was a lovely conversation.

At the end, she hugged me and took both of my hands and asked me for her name.
