Mother's Day prelude to Ireland journey
Mom wanted to return to Ireland once more.
It was a journey we took six times over 20 years, but I was afraid she wasn’t fit for a seventh.
Alas, Eileen Mannix will get her wish this summer.
I will bring her ashes back to the home of our ancestors.
Mom passed last October at the age of 83.
She’d fallen, broken a foot and faced surgery.
Although she sounded in good spirits the night before the procedure, I had a bad feeling.
My fear became reality.
