“it is said that the deep red petals of the red carnation,

represents a beating heart that is filled with love,

just like a mother’s.”

How we discovered the name for our daughter is such a serendipity. It is just as magically surprising as when we knew I was pregnant in June. She may not be as famous as Rose or Lily, but it doesn’t lessen any of her charm. She blossoms in different colors, which every each of them representing different meanings. White symbolize purity and luck; pink is associated with mother’s/parents’ love; light red means deep admiration, while dark red is love and affection; and yellow indicates disappointment/rejection. And as we dive deeper into the language of this beautiful flower, we decided to name our child, if we have a daughter, “Anyelir”, the Indonesian language for Carnation flower. As we mean it to be “pure never ending love”, believing that she is loved and surrounded by limitless undying love, not only from us as her parents, but from all kindness of people around her.
...
A fact I just read related to the flower I named my daughter with while browsing for some ideas to write this post, I found a beautiful painting named "Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose". I am not really familiar about arts or paintings, but this masterpiece from John Singer Sargent in 1885-86 captures my heart. Garden of Eden, filled with flowers in a magical twilight, with two girls lighting the lantern, as it is an image of childhood innocence. Inspired by a song...
"a wreath around her head,
around her head she wore,
carnation, lily, lily, rose,
and her hand a crook she bore,
and sweets her breath compose."
...
That’s how she was named, our pretty little flower. She teaches us the meaning of unconditional love. She unlocks the strength we never knew we ever have. And since the very first day she arrived in earth, she blooms just as beautiful. And the more we’ve known her, the more we love her. I am trying so hard to not posting her on my social media all this time. I just feel like I don't want to violate my child's privacy but it is so difficult not to share my excitement about her. I am like in the middle of not wanting to overshare my daughter but can not help to not sharing all her cuteness to the world. It's too precious, the time that we spend together, and I want to enjoy our time together to the fullest without bothering sharing it or not sharing it. Just a little amount of sharing won't hurt, keeping it not a little too much. I just could not imagine how my life would be without her. The days are long but the years are short,
don't grow too fast, my little love.
