Both of my parents immigrated to the United States from Ireland. My mother moved here from Wexford in the late 80s and my father moved here from Donegal here in the late 80s. The reason that both of them moved was the same, to find work. My Dad originally came to Boston in September and promised his family he’d be back by Christmas. That never happened and he’s been living in Boston ever since. I know my mother was the same as she moved here just getting by with nannying jobs and other odd jobs. My parents met in Boston in the 90s where they had my 2 sisters and I. It’s nice to have that heritage from Ireland and get to visit there during the summer.
