Many of you have asked me the meaning behind the name Esdeer. It is just one of the many ways I keep my son with me every single day and in this video I share how it came to be.
Please take a moment to watch it…..

Good Morning Maureen. I just watched your vedio about names and I know exactly where you are coming from. My husbands name is Bill. I always called him Billy, but he had several "nicknames" that he collected growing up. The one I loved so much was BillieBum and to this day I use this name on everything and I call him that everyday when I talk to him. I hope you have a Fantastic Day today. Thank you and God Bless
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the video – my daughter's initials form part of my email address wrapped in my name and I feel that I am hugging her every time I see the address or write it down. I had a little tear with you during the film but it's so important to keep the connection, isn't it?
Thank you for that, I shared a tear with you for your son, as I have lost mine. I hope you have a lovely holiday xxx
thank you for helping us through our grief by sharing your grief……
Thank you for your ability to touch my heart. And yes, I felt tears running down my face and they still are. Years ago when I developed some interest in computers, I kept noticing "jpeg" on pages on the computer. I asked my friend what that was and he explained it to me. Since his name was Jay, I think I will change the meaning for my remembrance of him. Thank you always for sharing your wonderful heart. Peg
Heartfelt, touching and wonderful, Maureen. Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us! ♥
thank u for sharing my son Pat has been gone from this earth for 8 and a half months i still miss him so much
I too, wondered, but didn't want to pry. Thanks for sharing this most personal of stories! Luv u!
Thank you for sharing this story.
Traveling this rocky road of grief, all the ups and downs, I decided that I needed to move on for many reasons including my health. By moving on I mean let go, or not think of him as much if possible. Yet today with your beautiful and touching account of the history of your business name, still another avenue that I must pursue. Deep down I don't want to forget, I need to find a healthy way to cherish him. You once again have provided the potential for a peaceful and beautiful memory.
Marcia I’ve come to believe that for us to heal we must find ways to let go of the pain but never of them and of what they mean to us. You will find your special and beautiful ways to cherish him as you say ~ Maureen
I just loved this video Maureen! The manner in which you named the website "esdeer" is very endearing and touching. The fact that you got emotional explaining how you came up with it, shows even more the effect of losing your son has had on you over time. He must be smiling and so proud of how you carry his memory with you in everything you do! <3
I wanted to pin this to my page to share your story, but pinterest is not allowing me to. If you or someone else, could help me with this problem; I would so appreciate it!
Thank you again for all that you do, and all of the lives that you touch in such a real way!
Sincerely, Heather
