| Remembering my mother
As my brother's life ebbs away I think of my mother and the songs she sang to me, this is for you maman and for my brother. Irish Lullaby (Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral) Written By: J. R. Shannon Copyright Unknown Over in Killarney, Many years ago, Me mither sang a song to me In tones so sweet and low. Just a simple little ditty, In her good ould Irish way, And I'd give the world if she could sing That song to me this day. Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Hush, now don't you cry! Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, Too-ra-loo-ra-li, Too-ra-loo-ra-loo-ral, That's an Irish lullaby. My mothers side of the family came from Cork in Ireland and she knew many songs, sung from her own mammie's knee. indie

That song brought back strong memories of my grandfather, 100% Irish.  Thank you for sharing it. I'm still sending my thoughts and prayers for you, and your dear brother, Indie...  And I'm sorry you are dealing with this...It must be very painful... Please be good to yourself and know that you are loved... Shalom!

That song's a favourite that I learned as a small child too. Annie, how are you coping with everything that's going on. I am sending thoughts and prayers to you and your brother every day.
