I was becoming myself again.
I looked different than I had at 29, and I had three more kids now, but my old name still fit. There was no hesitation as I signed my last name this time, even after ten years of signing another.
I’ve thought about what I would do if I got married again, and one thing I have learned in the last few years is that I can’t predict the future. But I know I won’t change my name again. Will I care if someone addresses a Christmas card to “Mr. and Mrs. New Married Name?” No. Will I care if my children’s new friends sometimes call me “Mrs. New Married Name”? I won’t. Because in some ways, in some circumstances, that might feel right.
But Sara Kennedy is the name that feels right all of the time, regardless of circumstances or husbands. And no matter how much I change, it will change with me.
