My parents and sister came to Ireland with me. I've never travelled anywhere beautiful without thinking, "I wish my family could see this," so it was truly amazing to finally have them next to me on an international adventure.
One day I heard my parents talking in the other room and because I'm nosey with them, I was like, "HEY WATCHA TALKIN' 'BOUT?"
My dad said this and it was so lovely I wrote it down to keep forever:
"I was just saying to your mother that I love her in the USA and I love her in Ireland. I love her all around the world."
They're a couple of lucky ducks, those two. They really have each other's backs.
