My Dad is 80 and living in Dublin.
I went to Ireland to celebrate it with
5 of 12 OConnors and 9 of 12 Kidneys...
My dad had 12 kids one by one with mom and remarried an Irish
widow with 12 Kidney kids....
He IS fantastic....
Great storyteller and always upbeat ... certainly an uplifter who encourages
going for it in all his kids who are all being independent and doing well.
He is a Joy to be around even when I hear the same stories again it is fun to relive them with
his new variations on the same story.
I love my dad!

Okie is on the way back to the US from Ireland on this coming Father's Day. Welcome home Okie. enjoy your visit with your original dozen kids!
Blessings,
Carla

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
I had a great Father's Day with my 4 children who I so appreciate and learn from. We had great fun! Dogs, kids, hikes, canoeing, and Chess too! Yesterday was bright and sunny and it continues.... Today is the last (half) day of school here in Maine and we are a day away from official summer. Time to Celebrate!

Great to see Okie in the Spotlight. A wonderful Irish uplifter, inspirer of 24 on both sides of the pond. May he continue to live long and prosper in the loving embrace of both dozens!
