sola fide

Dear Parke,
Good to hear from you.
I am so sorry your mother passed away. This must be a very difficult time for you.
I am glad that listening to Mairi Campbell and seeing the pictures from Ireland has done you somewhat well and brought some solace to you.
Wishing you much light for your heart. May all the beautiful memories bring you warmth and take you gently through this time.
Take good care of yourself.
Many warm wishes to you.

Thanks for the comment on the video, mate!
Dervish is one of my favorite Irish bands.

Yep, i have family all over virginia. i miss it, but kc is my home for now. Very familiar with the elders, love to watch them. Im in a local kc band, and its intimidating watching them sometimes, thats for sure! nice to meet you.

Thanks Parke.
Remembering a soup after years of having it... tells me it must have been very special.
Beautiful images you posted. Thanks for them, and the music.

I'd recommend Gill's lentil soup. :)
Welcome to Live Ireland. Hope you will be enjoying your time here.
