66

66 years ago today, my grandmother, Rose Mary Mirocha, married Edmund McCormick...the grandfather I never got to meet. He is where my Irish comes from. Mom just sent this picture over, and while I thought I've seen all my old family pics, my eyes have never crossed this one. Amazing to think that if their union never happened, I wouldn't be here.

I haven't seen many pictures of him in my life. They divorced when my mother was only 2 and he passed when my mom was in her early 20s. But it's amazing to look at him and know he is very much a part of me.
