I realize this is not a world wide holiday, not even one that every American celebrates but it means a lot to me. My great-grandfather crossed the pond to bring my family to America. I'm so happy he did and even more proud of the accomplishments my Irish family has had in America. My maiden name was suppose to be O'Beirne but because people were prejudice against the Irish my great-grandfather dropped the O' and the e so that he could get a job in NYC. My little guy is probably less Irish than any other heritage but I hope he shares one day in the pride of having a little Irish blood in him. :)
