I was named after my father's mother.

He later apologized for that because she had died when he was just 12 and in his eyes she was perfect so by naming me after her he set me up for failure because I could never be as wonderful as he remembered her being.

He said that maybe he and I would have had a better relationship if he hadn't done that.
