Honor thy mother.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday I came to the conclusion that I would add my mother's first name (Felisa) as my middle name. I was never given a middle name and I always wanted to fill this void with an appropriate name. When I was confirmed I chose the name Gabriella but never adopted it offically. The Saturday after Thanksgiving I drove my cousin Jenny to the cemetary where my mother and grandmother are buried. While we were standing there making chit chat (Jenny and I that is) I blurted out that I was going to take Felisa as my middle name. Jenny thought that was a really cool idea. The more I think about it, the more I like it: Noemi Felisa Mendez. It seems right. Wonder why I never thought of it before. Maybe the timing wasnt right. So I am going to be going to the Baltimore City Courthouse after the holidays to make it official . I will keep everyone posted when it is all done.
