Well, thanks to my darling grandmother, Catherine Mary Collins Darin, I have an Irish heritage to not only be proud of but to pass onto my children!
Directly from County Cork, Ireland - Catherine moved to the USA after meeting my Grandfather during WWII, in England. I still have family in Ireland - my grandmother's sister Rita, her sister-in-law Noelene, and my second (and newly added third) cousins. I hope to still make it there someday in the not too distant future...I want very much to see where part of me began.
To all of you, Irish or not (everyone is a bit Irish on St. Patty's Day!), an Irish Blessing:
May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Erin Go Bragh!
