Roy,

We are so sorry to hear about the health problems of your wife's family. How distressing to be so far away when these things happen. I'm glad to hear her brother is recovering. Hope her mother is doing better also. Are there other family members who are helping out in Ireland?

We often think of a trip to Ireland as being a happy time. But when bad things happen to family and friends there it can be very stressful. Keep us up to date on happenings. We wish you and your family well.

Well, Tony, my wifes take is a little different. My brother-in-law was sent home from Mullingar and ended up in Tullamore when he got critically sick. The family is looking into nursing home options for my mother-in-law at this point. Fortunately my sister-in-law in Longford is a nurse and knows what questions to ask. I am glad my wife got to see them on her second trip. Her brother is doing well.

In the meantime, I am starting to plan next years holiday. My wife wants to see the east.
