🌍✨ For TLC: The Little Girl Who Carries My Name ✨🌍

She was born far across the sea,
but I felt her arrival deep inside me.
A little girl—braided and bright—
with the letters T-L-C whispered into her spirit
because I asked for it.
When I first heard about her from Addison Sebuhlor,
I made one sacred request:
“Please give her my birth initials—TLC—
and let them mean what they’ve always meant:
Tender Loving Care.”
And the orphanage said yes.
They gave her the name with love.
And her brothers and sisters?
They sing it like a sunrise:
“TLC! TLC!”
Now, I carry a dream for her—
that one day she will hold not just my initials,
but also my last name: Syrnich TLC
There will be only two of us in the world.
Two hearts.
One name.
Forever connected.
Before papers.
Before interviews.
Before the world knew—
there was this moment of choosing.
Of love.
Of naming.
Of destiny.
💬 To Addison Sebuhlor:
Thank you for honoring my request.
Know this:
She will be loved.
She will always have someone—me.
