Keltus, Kelly and KeeKee

All three is me! My parents named me Kelly, however my grandfather called me Keltus John and now my granddaughter calls me KeeKee! I love all three names, each special and endearing!

Names, they can mean a lot right? When I was in kindergarten, I was one of two Kelly's! The other was a boy...at the time I was furious that my mom and dad named me a boy's name!

From the time I can remember, I was Kelly and Keltus John! My grandfather (real name Matthew Dawson...nickname MD) was famous for his nicknames he would give friends and family! He called my mother, Boris (real name Doris) and my father (his son) was Edderd (real name Edward)! His brothers called him 'fatboy'! My son was fortunate to know my grandfather before he died. He called Justin, 'toughy'!  My grandfather was a sweet man with routines that I watched with amazement! He would hand feed his dog, he listened to the Astro's every game on the radio in the kitchen and he watched TV on his knees leaned on an ottoman!

Now, I am older...a grandmother called KeeKee by the sweetest child ever! Adlie is three years old! She has me wrapped around all her fingers! There is nothing I would not do for her and I am the weakest link in the family! Adlie is smart, but all grandmothers say that right? No really, she is!

Most of my friends call me Keltus! I love my names! I am fortunate to be all three!
