St. Patrick's Day

Conversation with your little brother this morning:

Me: "Do you know what day it is tomorrow?"
Eoghan: "Yes." takes another spoon of cereal and responds in a muffled fashion: "St. Patrick's Day."
Me: "And do you know what St. Patrick's Day is about?"

(Expecting to hear about what he learnt at pre-school.)

Eoghan: "Of course. It's about my (brother) Patrick!"

It certainly is a day that you are even more in our thoughts, Sproggy-pops. For Daddy, Eoghan and me, St. Patrick's day has become a day that Saint Patrick gets to share with you. Isn't he one lucky saint!? Not many get to do that.
