Maru Yeshua Parker – (phillips) is your mother's name
I was there at your birth. I named you Maru because it means precious and complete. It is how I felt about you then and now. When we talk I will tell you all about how your grandmother introduced me to the Japanese culture and why I looked for a Japanese name to express my feelings and hopes for you. I can tell you now that biologically, your DNA consists of Blackfoot, Lumbee, and more from my bloodline. I can tell you that you come from a family of thinkers, creators, and artists.
