My Grandmother on my father's side with probably one of the strictest Catholics I have ever known she was a true believer. She more than anything is what kept the family in the church.
And look at you now, you heathen, all of her hard work for nothing!
She was very angry back when I got married as my wife is not catholic and we didn't have a priest marry us. She would have been 111 two days ago it was another world when she was growing up. Everyone on my father's side of the family was pure Irish Catholic to the point some still could speak Gaelic but that was back when my father was young. My mother's side was a German and a English/Irish/Dutch mutt
It really was another world, yes. Did you ever learn any Gaelic words?
