It is sometimes more difficult for me to write about family members that I knew and loved than those ancestors whose stories I've learned second hand.<br /><br />I, too, marvel at the few "degrees of separation" between you and I and our respective Irish famine ancestors. It difficult to fathom how close we are to that time, yet how little we know of what they suffered.<br /><br />I love the beautiful prayer to St. Colmcille that you found in your grandmother's Bible and I add my prayers to yours for the people of Ireland scattered throughout the world.<br /><br />LisaLisa / Smallest Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811771280872197611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7242187022431135161.post-8857038544994004942012-12-09T20:48:18.316-05:002012-12-09T20:48:18.316-05:00That was a beautiful tribute to your grandmother. ...That was a beautiful tribute to your grandmother.
