In 2010, James had the privilege of meeting Tata in Sacramento. It was during the fervor of the World Cup, and he found himself side by side with Tata, watching an intense match unfold on the screen. Despite the language barrier, Tata's lively commentary, animated hand gestures, and infectious enthusiasm transcended words, making the experience all the more memorable. Her beautiful smile and intent eye-contact spoke volumes, creating a bond that surpassed the need for a common language.
Fast forward to September 2018, Laura, James, and their two-year-old Kaiya embarked on a trip to Beirut. They stayed in Achrafieh, the very neighborhood where Tata, her husband, and children once lived. The charm of the locale was captivating, but what truly made the trip special was the chance to explore the area that held so many memories for Tata and her family.
One of the most poignant moments was their visit to the Paradise Hotel, where Tata had worked as a manager for over 20 years. There, they met the son of a woman who had worked with Tata. His recollections of "Madam Khoury" painted a vivid picture of a strong, determined woman who led with grit and grace. Tata's reputation as a do-er was still remembered - she was the driving force that ensured things got done.
These memories of Tata, from her animated soccer commentaries to her legacy at Paradise Hotel, are cherished reminders of a remarkable woman whose spirit continues to inspire those who knew her. Her life was a testament to resilience, love, and dedication, and these stories will continue to keep her memory alive.
