What's In a Name?

My Grandma (MiMa) sent me this picture today. It is of her older sister and brother, my Great Aunt Ruth and Great Uncle Mack...short for MacKnight.
Isn't Mack darling? When I ask MiMa to tell me about him, she always begins with, "Oh he was such a good brother and just my very best friend..."

Baby Corbin Mac,
Your Dad and I spent a LOT of time discussing what your name should be. We changed the spelling, but we both love the name Mac and we think it suits you well. I hope that you will live up to the beautiful example of your ancestors, so that someday...when you are someones Great Great Uncle, and your sisters talk about you, I hope they will always introduce you as, "such a good brother and my very best friend..."
We are so glad you're here,
Mom and Dad

PS-MiMa, is there ANY chance you have that chair Ruth is sitting on? If so, put a sticky note with my name on it please! Thanks for the photo.

I too loved uncle Mack. It was always so much fun to go visit at his house. He was so kind and fun to be around. And...I'm sure that Reese and Q will make sure that Corbin Mac is included in their "best friend circle".

According to Reese, he is now officially "Corbin cheeto Mac"!
