I'm having a few days in Dublin, miss my normal therapy this week, T said like she always does that I can email, and I smiled and said, Im sure I'll be fine, she replied, well you can email even if your fine..being away always brings up loss for me, a feeling of being in a place that is so unfamiliar (new family, loss of birth mother), strange my birth mother was Irish and this is my first time over here and its like being amongst my own, we all have this certain look around our eyes, irish eyes, and this makes me feel sad too because ireland was meant to be my heritage but I was raised some place else, I often think about black children or for that case any foreign child adopted into a foreign family in more than one way, its a sort of another loss that needs to be mourned...but apart from this its good, I found a coffee shop today, I was drawn to the stop front that had "Freud" painted across it, hoping to get a free session lol, instead I asked for a cup of neurosis shaken nor stirred LOL!! I will email T and tell her, I'm fine!

Did you get your cup of neurosis? How did it taste?

Emailed T just telling her my feeling of finally "coming home"..this trip has turned into my once in a life time pilgrimage..being adopted I've spent a life time envying others for "fitting in", whilst I've always felt on the outside, being here I finally feel 2 parts of me coming together..becoming whole...T replied and said yes, identity is more than just the physical...I feel that hole most of us feel gone, I sat alone for a while today in the grounds of a castle in kilkenny today and felt everything I'd lost coming back to me...if I never come back to ireland again this will remain with me...something I can carry around...T said sounds like a good trip all round...

Very good Melba! I have a lot of Irish heritage. When I was on that side of the Atlantic earlier this year for 6 months, I met an Irish guy (I wasn't in Ireland!) and I swear I thought he was my brother! If I would have taken him to one of my family reunions he would have fit right in and everybody would have loved him. He had the same qualities that I had. I was so amazed how genetics work. It was like, "you are my people!" He reminded me of my dad and his siblings so much and I love this side of my family.
Were you planning this trip for awhile?

I love studying my genealogy because of the feeling of connection I get; it's like having a more secure base. Only my mother's mother's father's parents were Irish (I'm 1/8th? :-) My mother's father's father's mother's mother was Scottish
Everyone else was English.

OK, I guess I have to state also that my ancestry includes English, Scottish, and Scots-Irish. Who knows what all else?
Maybe Adam, Eve, Snake, and so on.
