Yeliz (Turkish word for "beautiful" and a derivative of Liz which means "grace")
Audrey (noble strength)
Zian (Riza and Ian-- Chinese for "inner peace")
Andrew ( warrior or manly. In the bible, Andrew is known for drawing people to Christ as he invited his brother Simon to follow the Messiah and he led the lad who had 5 loaves and 2 fish in feeding the 5 thousand)
I spent 2 nights in the hospital to assist my sister-in-law and met 2015 in the same place.
Goy and I were Zian's first viewer in NICU where I only had 2 hours of sleep.
When Zian was brought in the room, I am the one who received him because the mother still has the needle plugged in her hand.
