Irish Blessing
"May God be with you and bless you,
May you see your children's children,
May you be poor in misfortune, rich in blessings.
May you know nothing but happiness
From this day forward."

Irish Prayer
"May those who love us love us
And those who don't love us
May God turn their hearts,
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we'll know them by their limping."

And like many, I too have Irish roots. My grandfather was John O'Hearn who changed his name to John Hearn because he got mad at the Catholic church - or so I was told. His sister, Agnes, was the mother of 1940's movie star, Joan Leslie.
