In May of 2000, my Mom and I had booked our trip to Ireland. My Mom’s good friend is a flight attendant and she asked me one day in the car if I could go anywhere in the world for a graduation present, where would I want to go? I didn’t even hesitate to tell her that I wanted to go to Ireland. The trip was scheduled for days after my high school graduation with one of my good friends, my Mom, and her friend. My friend and I went shopping and we had received our passports already. We were all set for just after my high school graduation.
My Dad was so sick and my graduation. He ended up needing open heart surgery the day after I graduated. For me, there was no question! I would postpone my trip! He was so apologetic to me as I met him in the room pre-surgery. I told him that Ireland has been there for thousands of years and I will be there for thousands more but he was more important! I told him that I would get there one day.
I haven’t been there yet and my passport has since expired. There is a new Hallmark movie that set in Ireland complete with Irish accents, the green scenery, and the castles! 😍😍😍 This movie is on right now and this is the third time I have sing it. I swear I was Irish in my past life! That’s why my son’s name is Sean!
I recently saw the mishandling of A motorized wheelchair on a commercial airplane on Facebook. I shared the video and cry every rime i see it! Watching this movie, I knew it to find a way to get there! I searched other videos that Talked about being in a wheelchair and getting on an airplane. That video made me cry as well!
The woman who posted the Facebook post originally tagged all of the major airlines and said that something needs to be done. I definitely would appreciate something mean done! I want to get to Ireland. I have to get to Ireland. I was hoping to get there sometime this summer, I looked at it as a trip deferred for 20 years. I think it will have to wait a little while longer because when I watch the person getting onto the plane, I cried at how difficult it was!
I recently saw an interview on the Daily Show about the young Swedish girl who came to New York in a boat. Maybe I will have to look at something like that then. As I hear the Irish accents right now, I have to get there! U2 is my favorite band! The only question left is a pretty big question but, how to get there?!
