Baba and Courtney

Courtney and Baba

Four generations of Quiroses

Wednesday was a very special day for me, Courtney got to meet her great-grandmother, Cecilia (aka Baba). It was their first meeting and it was so special. Baba seemed enthralled and amazed by her namesake and I know that I was all misty and trying not to break out in tears over it all.

For those that don't know my grandmother, or have heard of her but never met her, she is an amazing woman. She came to the US as a single mom with an 8-year-old in tow to start a new life and give him all kinds of opportunities. She's succeeded far beyond what many could have expected of her, she's a remarkable woman. I feel honored to have such a wonderful person as my grandmother and am thrilled that Courtney can carry on her name. Baba said yesterday that she has some important things to tell Courtney, I can't wait to hear what they are!
