When I was first married with your mom, I was very afraid of bringing a baby to the world.
Not because I didn't want you, but it was because I was worried of you being born into this world of pain and suffering.
When considering a name for you, I asked myself.
What I want my son to be?
What I wish my son to have in order for him to be able to face the trials of life ahead of him?
The answer that came to my mind was Faith.
I wish and pray that you would be a man of faith.
Not a kind of self-confidence, but faith in the One true God of Trinity.
Therefore I named you 林怀信.
Fidel is your name.
Which in Latin roots means Faithful.
I know, you will be a man useful in God's kingdom, and a blessing to people around you, if you remain Faithful to God and faithful of who you are and what He entrusted you.
Dad and mom cannot accompany you through out your life's journey.
But, we are grateful to have each moment with you.
Only God can lead you all the way,until we shall meet again in eternity.
Remember son, Your name is Fidel.

I named my son Fidel as well. My husband is named Fidel, as well as his dad. And now, my son named his son Fidel. So we have four Fidels in the family. Good, strong name!
