Tonight when I put Hyzyd to sleep, I sang to him the song "Create in me a clean heart". When I stopped because his dad talked to me, he tried to reach out my mouth and tried to tell me something- he wanted me to keep on singing! Wow, my son loves my voice (though I'm out of tune sometimes). He even love it better when his dad joined me in singing. He sleeps so sound now. It's my prayer that my son grows up singing songs to HIM.
The name of our son is Hyzvhann Hyzydyll (read as Hezvan Hezedel). Many are wondering how did we get the name, what does it mean and how to read it. Some jokingly commented that maybe I hate the vowels and some named him the consonant baby...he..he..he. The name was given by his grandfather (my father). We told him that it will be an honor for us if he could give the name of their first grandson. Actually, my father is the one who give us our names-from the eldest (it's me) 'till the 14th child (our youngest). We all have two given names like me I'm named after the combination of my parent's name-Benoni and Geneditha. The result is "Genebei" plus their chosen name for me, Faith = Genebei Faith . I noticed that all of us had great and unique names especially our youngest which is named Doxagennes Keilah . Each of our names has corresponding meanings. Hyzvhann is a modified name of the hebrew vocabulary Heshvan (Cheshvan). Heshvan (Cheshvan) or Mar Cheshvan ...
When Joaqui was a baby, I used to lull him with the song "Tanging Yaman" and other church songs, and now that he is a toddler, he knows quite a few church songs already. Hyzyd will know the songs you sing to him as he grows ; )
