And So It Begins

I guess you could say it actually began in October when my dad and I were talking about me going to Ireland for the summer.  The discussions we had got us both so excited, and the support he showed encouraged me to take a leap of faith.  What I thought would be a fun vacation away from Charleston for the two and a half months off school has actually become a year away from home. 

I lost my dad in November to Cancer, but his support for the summer trip made a little dream blossom into a bigger reality.  I've worked really hard since he passed to make arrangements for this trip across the pond.  I want to do this to honor him.  In just three days, my journey begins.
