‘We are so blessed’: Grandparents proud of Romo’s success

*This is for all you Tony Romo fans out there. And for those who aren’t, it’s a great story about abuelo and abuela’s pride. VL

I wrote my first story about Felicita and Ramiro Romo, who lived in San Antonio for three years in the 1980s, after their grandson became the Cowboys’ starting quarterback in 2006.

Felicita and Ramiro Romo Sr. have lived in Crockett, an East Texas town with a population of about 7,000, since they moved from San Antonio in 1989. They attend all of the Cowboys’ home games and will be at AT&T Stadium on Sunday for the team’s playoff clash with the Detroit Lions.

Christened Antonio Ramiro Romo – his father, Ramiro Jr., is Hispanic and his mother, Joan, is of Polish-German descent – the Cowboys’ quarterback always has been close to his paternal grandparents. His grandfather often calls him “Antonio” in media interviews.
