I've always been extremely proud of my previous surname GOLDEN and I've been able to hold on to it for 2 and a half more years after I got married. However its been such a problem to have to show my Identification Document with my marriage certificate when ever the need arises that I've decided to get my ID sorted out once and for all. So finally my sister in-law and I has gone to apply for our new I D's (one which will actually show my not so new surname.) My hubby's surname is Damons and I know that I should be grateful cause I've heard of really ugly surnames like Draaghoender etc. so Damons is honestly not a bad surname. However I must admit I don't think any surname will ever match up to GOLDEN. I've always known that I've been using a borrowed surname, but nothing quiet prepared me for the day I'll finally have to let go of it. To crown it all as if loosing the surname was not bad enough I've had to see how my sister in law gets to take her old surname off her old ID in exchange for my GOLDEN all in one day...
Its been great to have been known as Miss Golden for 25 years and after 2 and a half years of being married I now realize its time to finally let go and enjoy my exciting new phase of life - The one where I am known as Mrs Verna Damons. Its reasuring to know that I've traded in the surname for someone whom I esteem more costlier than gold - the one man on earth who makes me feel day after day that to him I'm more beutiful and precious than diamonds. Good thing I think the world of Beulah (my sister in law) and of all the girls I know I'm glad that she's the one getting to live the rest of her wonderful life with my brother on the surname God planned for her from the start - Mrs Beulah Golden - I know for reasons of her own she loves her new surname so enjoy the surname I got to borrow for 25 years.
By the way I finished my book this morning and I have to agree with the Max Lucado: "Perfect people with spotless pasts and problem-free futures won't like this book. The rest of us will find much to love in it. Thanks Robin, for sharing your story and reminding us that the real hero in any happy ending is God."
