#ThrowbackThursday – Me and my Grandma

My grandma, like my mom, was a strong woman. A real role model, a great cook, and just a fascinating woman. I miss her and my mom every day. This is a picture of her with me when I was just a wee baby! I was named after her in part. My real first name is Caridad de las Nieves, but when I became a citizen, I took Nieves as my middle name since I couldn’t keep my whole first name.
