Re: Helen, Margaret, Susan, or Deborah
I'd go with Helen; it's my grandmother's middle name and was my great-grandmother's first name.I was going to say Helen Flora but I just realized that's very close to my great-grandmother's combo of Helen Cora (not a bad thing, though!). I think Helen Felicity or Helen Frances would be nice too. I really like Helen with F- names, not sure why.I like Margaret well enough but I feel like using it would kind of feel like honoring myself! Susan is nice but I can't stand Sue. Deborah is my partner's mom's name so it's growing on me just because she's a lovely person but I don't like Deb/Debbie and it's just not a name I would actually use.

you taught me the courage of stars before you left
how light carries on endlessly, even after death
with shortness of breath, you explained the infinite
how rare and beautiful it is to even exist
