Well we are nearing the end of Saint Patricks day and Im a little sad to be away from my family this year. When I was younger my nana used to brush my hair for school and tell my storys of when she grew up in Ireland. Its almost 4 years since my nana passed away and I feel it most on Saint Patricks day. Ive been to Catholic School and done the green pancakes. I went through university round the corner from an Irish bar. I even remember making a green cheese cake one year when my nana was very ill. Today for the first time in my intire life I just let it slide. I thought since I now have a new family and it doesnt mean anything to Chris that I would let it be. I think perhaps Ive just made myself feel worse. I know that Chris wouldnt have minded even if I'd gone for a guiness. Being Irish is part of me, god knows I will never escape the red hair.
