- I wish my family had money, to buy me gifts for my birthday, unfournatley my father immigrated to the US in 1852, where job's did not want to hire Irish People, so we often do not have money, as we don't have jobs. My dad grew up in Ireland, but came here during the potato famine, he immigrated through ellis island, but this ring is one of the only things he still has from Ireland. My mother got sent back to Ireland, as many women did back then, but my parents agreed to raise me here, so I would have a better life, but my life here is horrible, and my father won't even talk to me.

- You are not wearing your ring correctly! If you are single, which I hope you are you wear it on your right hand with the heart facing outwards. I just gave it to you because I wore it for years on my left hand, the married way, hoping your mom would finally come to America, I have given up hope for that, but any Irish Boy may know what your ring means, and you could find a boyfriend. Your mother would have wanted you to be happy and be proud of your culture.
