What Remains
When my grandfather left Ireland in 1890, the little farm was given to his uncle Patrick - one of the few members of the family who didn't emigrate. The old building still stands, though it doesn't look quite as picturesque as this.
"If fortune it ever should favour me
Or I to have money in store
I'll come back and I'll wed the wee lassie I left
On Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore"

Spoiler alert: This is exactly what he did....
