PRONUNCIATION: ee + fa"
Aoife Clancy, A Mantle of Green
Aoife Clancy, Spain in My Heart
My husband hosted an Irish youth band when Emily was in high school.
My daughter is an Irish musician as was her father..
New little Aoife is already auditioning...crying, on key!!!
'Our family is blessed...
My girl loves Irish sheep and Oregon chickens...
I can now, relieved..start making fun things like that for Aoife.
After my husband died, I could not bear to listen to Irish music.
It was a trigger for me...when he was not on stage playing.
Today, that turned around.
A new life, a new chance...new hope..
Welcome Aoife.
Your grandma loves you.
