Writing Exercise 040

Today is my mother's nameday. So I want to dedicate this week's writing exercise to her. As the obvious choice I wrote a drabble on the topic nameday. Enjoy!

2016/09/12 – nameday (Drabble)

A name is something precious – something that accompanies you as long as you live and even after you're long dead it will stay with you, eternally. So let me put a saint at your side, to guide you, to protect you and wish you well. To bestow you with something to call your own, to be a part of your identity. This day is yours; it reminds you that you are precious regardless of your age. Let's celebrate this day, celebrate in your name and for your sake! Today you take the cake, quite literally. Because this is your nameday.
