My two sisters stayed with me for my brother's funeral.  I have an American flag that flies day and night (it is lit and protected from rain).  I just got a package and note from my sisters enclosing a new flag since mine was faded and battered.     It also said "We also wish we could cheer you up about DW.  Your spirit is battered but you are an inspiration."

    Lovely that you could all be together.

    My flag us up 24/7 also except for a period when the Irish Republic flag is flown.

    You are a lucky man to have so much family support. I'm sure you know that.

    I fly both on such occasions

    When DW became an Irish citizen we said she raised the average intelligence and lowered the average alcohol consumption. 
    My Jewish grandsons are both Irish and Jewish and thus clearly the Chosen People

    I wish this site had a "like" function so I could give the previous posts a big thumbs up.

    I agree with JDancer that we need a like function because this deserves it.  What a boost just when you needed it!
