Dear Diane,
I was reading some of your messages! You are an Irishwoman by heritage! I am half Irish, I love the Irish! Erin go braugh dear lady, and top of the mormin to ya!
Diane, I am so sorry we got in that little spat comparing the U.S. and Canada, as I said, I love both countries! Reading your writings, you are indeed a lovely, thoughtful, compassionate woman, if I insulted you in any way I apoligize dear lady, I think you are a very beautiful woman, and you mentioned you have kids, you must be a great mom! I have two teenage daughters of my own and a third child on the way with my beautiful present wife!
Once again lovely Irish-Canadian woman, I am sorry we had our little disagreement! You are a beautiful woman Diane and all the best to you and yours!
A hug and a kiss from Minnesota Diane!
love,
Johan

Hello Johan,
My great great grandfather came from Ireland on a boat heading toward Canada like many others which is very much part of the Canadian history. This great great grandfather died on the boat leaving two sons alone ( no ones knows what happen to their mother) and the boat landed in Quebec. A very kind Quebec family adopted those two children and changed their names into french Canadian name. ONe of the children is my great grandfather which became a policeman in Quebec city. That great grandfather later on moved his family out of Quebec city and my grandfather met my grandmother in Canada and she was born and raised in France and moved when she was a young woman. My grandmother came from a weatlhy, very educated family but when her father died on the boat his family refused to send money to my greatgrandmother. According to them my greatgrandmother had no business marrying their son because she was supposely ugly ,poor and lack educaton so she wasn`t allowed in some of the family pictures. ( snobs) According to the history of the town which I am born in my greatmother was the most beautiful woman in the town and every time we show her picture people tend to laugh because she is beautiful. She had long dark brown hair past her buttocks and had many boyfriends and refused to remarry. She even had one boyfriend come every day to tie up her shoes ( where are those men today? lol)
Over ten years ago my grandmother went back to France to kick butt with the relative. My grandmother died last year.
On my father side all the relative were imigrants of France and I still have relative there.
Throughout my upbringing it was always important to be educated and know my languages. It was extremely important to pass on the culture.
I love my children. My late husband was born and raised as an American. I found that they consider themselves American first then their heritage. Over here I find that people consider their heritage first than they are Canadians.
Thank you for your kind words. Everyone around me has been always welcome in my home and part of my life.
