Once a lady told me that she had recently visited Ireland and more recently met my GrandDad. She said that "he couldn't look more Irish than if you plucked him off the streets of Dublin." The Irish heritage showing through. I understand that some of us Gary's came from County Gloucestershire, Ireland way back when. We might have been O'Gary's then, not sure. This photo of GrandDad was taken in 1999 at a family reunion. He is holding Dillon, my cousin Catherine's child. Before he passed away in 2002, he was a great grandfather to 8 boys. He would have been proud to now have 2 girls as well. I'm giving you the hug and giving you the kiss today, GrandDad as I think about you and upcoming St. Patrick's Day.Monday, March 9, 2009
