The Icing on The Cake
May the future lead him onward to further happy fulfillment

"May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand."

"Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.
Go raibh an chóir ghaoithe i gcónaí leat.
Go dtaitní an ghrian go bog bláth ar do chlár éadain,
go gcuire an bháisteach go bog mín ar do ghoirt.
Agus go gcasfar le chéile sinn arís,
go gcoinní Dia i mbosa a láimhe thú."

 

May the force be with him always!

There were 13 of us counting me, and I joked about the 12 apostles, wondering playfully who was going to be 'Jesus'. As for the PBS series, no--TV for me is mostly catch as catch can when I happen to be in need of entertainment or distraction. I knew when 'Downton Abbey' was on and tried to be here for it, though.
