My mother's family was the same way...left and never looked back - never talked about it either. <br />Your grandmother looks so like my Grandma McCreedy i could cry - i think i will ! i loved her madly and think of her all the time too - especially when my sister and i are sewing together - we have flashes of our Irish great aunts on the other side laughing at us "that's why we left the Old Country, you silly girls !!!"<br />I know so many of our ancesters left Ireland in sadness - but, yes - they would be so proud of the children that carry their heritage here.<br />(my Pop ALWAYS wore a bow tie! ) you go Eamon !mema5https://www.blogger.com/profile/17264723155450950167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654685163902143770.post-32491021320866626422012-03-17T10:07:41.078-04:002012-03-17T10:07:41.078-04:00What a great story!!

This is such ...Happy St. Patrick's Day, Erin!!! This is such a wonderful post! Looove that pic of your grandparents:) I'm Irish and German too! My mother-in-law came here from Malahide (a little north of Dublin) when she was in her early 20s and still has a bit of an accent when she says some words...like knickers:) OMG, your kids are so cute! (I would love to see pics of your son in a bow tie too.) I think your grandfather would definitely be proud of you and them!!<br /><br />Thank you so much for your help with Maura's eating habits. I'm glad to know that at least its not my kid! Major breakthrough the last two days though...I discovered she likes cucumbers!! (at least so far) I'm going to make a conscious effort to have Paul and I eat dinner with her a couple of times a week and hope that helps (new recipes too). Going to also try out a booster seat. She is such a good kid otherwise that I feel bad harping on this one thing but I want to make sure I'm doing a good job as a mom:)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05459211820940379244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654685163902143770.post-21044944693559274542012-03-16T21:11:25.457-04:002012-03-16T21:11:25.457-04:00Such an interesting and rich post!Such an interesting and rich post!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10314225623871245895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654685163902143770.post-61753949807354604502012-03-16T10:01:14.319-04:002012-03-16T10:01:14.319-04:00Oh my gosh, I loved reading this!
