      Ah, I wish I were over in Dublin. I’ve been twice and I can picture Grafton Street in my head so I’ll be thinking about the reading and sending you good thoughts.

      Hello & Congratulations!
      I am so very pleased for you! I know how long and hard this journey has been.
      I won’t go into detail as this is a congratulations note…I
      will soon be a single parent as my marraige fell apart- for a time I had to move away from all talk and thought of babies. Now in one week’s time a good friend has brought a baby home from Guatemala (3 miscarraiges in her past) and you are close to giving birth. Wonderful, wonderful news!
      I am doing peace education work and working on a degree in Web Design as I move to a new life. I am happy and my children are great-my oldest now is taller than I ad I am nearly 5 ft 10!
      Congratulations as well on all your other successes! You should be proud-you will do a lot of good as you share
      your knowledge,
      Take care,
      Lisa

      Fiona, I posted it on the write-on Irish girls site and they all send their congrats!!

    7. Fiona Says:

      Thanks Mel and Deno!

      Claire – thanks a million, I will go and have a look. I was a bit reluctant to post there as it’s been ages since my last post.

      Lisa – I am so happy to hear from you. I have thought of you often but didn’t want to intrude. So sorry to hear that things haven’t worked out for you, you must have been through a really rough time. Congrats on your work, sounds like you are doing really well. Can’t believe Nick is so big already! Look forward to talking again soon.

      Hi Feebee
      I wish I could make it to Dublin for the launch, but as I live in Tipperary I won’t be able to make it up from the sticks mid week. Have a great evening, and best of luck with the book. I’ll give it a plug on the TTC board on WOL!

      Thanks Jane!
