It is interesting how some names are given to children. In some cases names are just given on a "try out" basis. Imagine my surprise to know that a new born was given my name. It is the Indonesian spelling of my first and last name. They called him Kalkati (pronounced Call-Kay-Tee). He was born early and was an abandoned child. He was not in very good health.I was humbled that a "little life", a living individual was given my name. I got to hold him although he was frail and did not look well. He was fighting for his life.
When I left two weeks later he looked better and I am optimistic he was gain more strength. He has a full-time care giver who is doing a great job nurturing him. I am looking forward to seeing how he does over these next months. These are important days for him to be nurtured back to health.
