Marigold
My grandma always said that my name seemed more like a punishment than a name. She made mention of this too often, but that made me like it even more. It felt like the best inside joke ever. My mama tells a beautiful story about its origin, that she’d been handed a marigold at the market downtown right after she found out she was pregnant. She said it seemed like an affirmation that everything would work out just as it should.
