I have no idea why I have been blessed with the friends and experiences that I have.
I can only say that I am forever grateful.
There are days that you look back on and think that was so wonderful.
It is even more wonderful when you realize it in the moment.
I never needed a passport until last year.
One evening last August I was searching travel costs and I accidentally bought a ticket to Ireland.
I panicked.
I messaged my friends that someone needed to go with me.
I messaged my friend Lynore and hoped that our paths would be able to cross.
I am so very thankful they did.
Life is inevitably going to hand you painful moments and tragedies.
And sometimes a beautiful soul shows up to let you know that you are not alone.
A kind word. A sweet note. They can be everything you didn’t know you needed.
Add in a wicked sense of humor and a little mischief and you have met my friend Lynore.
Ireland was always something that I would say I would love to go visit one day.
I never really dreamed it would be possible.
My children would check out our ancestry and we would see the percentages.
I think everyone claims to be a little Irish. Now I see why.
A welcoming home. A cup of tea. And so much beautiful life in all that green.
My spirit feels renewed.
I don’t know how much of my DNA is Irish but I do know that 100% of my heart is.
Thank you Lynore for all of your kindness.
Forever grateful,
Cheryl
