Happy 3rd Birthday Jilly!

My niece and godchild, Jillian Macy, celebrated her 3rd birthday last Monday. She spent it with classmates at the preschool she goes to. On Sunday, her whole family will celebrate it again with her. Here's a supposed-to-be-birthday-greeting of Irish origin for your day:


May those who love us, love us;
And for those who don't love us,
May God turn their hearts;
And if He can't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles,
So we will know them by their limping!

Opps, that didn't sound quite right, did it? Hehe. What i meant was:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rain fall soft upon your fields,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I searched for the meaning of her name, and got this:
Jillian=youthful; Macy=enduring.
