I was lucky enough to be born to a Irish Catholic family one of fourteen. Ten girls and four boys. Life was never dull. It was full of love. I have tried to teach the importance of family to my children. When my youngest was five we became guardian to a friend of my daughters a year later her brother joined our family. So our family of three became five I was following my dads mantra' 'always room for one more." book was written for all my grandchildren to teach them important lessons.
