What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about Katie?
--"Maybe Katie" by Barenaked LadiesMy name is Katherine Elizabeth, and it is a little-known fact that my folks named me after this song. Mom and dad were just driving around in his car one day, talking about possible names for me. Mom was determined to sneak "Elizabeth" in

This was a lovely story, and I thought it was great how you wove real life into Katie's imagined one. I'm so sad that it never happened for you guys but I love the idea of keeping the room pink :)

This is both sweet and sad. I loved 'meeting' maybe-Katie.

[roina_arwen]

Thank you. Writing about maybe-Katie was both interesting and sad at the same time.

I enjoyed reading your story .. it was bittersweet in so many ways.
I'm saddened that having a child wasn't in your life's plan (yet anyway ..).
You'll be an awesome Mom. *Hugs*
