I was born in Wexford, Ireland and as a lad I was shipped off to America for a brighter future. While in America, during my teens, I grew up fantasizing of my homeland. For, I had very little memories of it, and my parent's somehow became lost in translation during my childhood.
Two years ago I was able to return to my homeland via a business trip and I stood on the Wexford docks, took in the salty air, and looked out into the gorgeous Muir Éireann. That whole week was spent in and of out meetings, not the usual summer vacation per-say, but on the last day I was able to find my parent's gravestones. Closure is the best summer I've ever had.
