Subject: Walking & talking with you Cindy throughout Belfast was an experience I may never have again, so it was enriching & eye-opening in all the ways it matters to my heart & mind.Being able to experience Ireland with the Shammies who "get it" & know about the books was truly wonderful! I said quite a few times "Wow, this is where Pat marched", "OMG! This is where Casey stood", "Look! There's the hill & Jamie's mansion" so yes, the characters & the places are more alive to me & I have a deeper appreciation for Ireland, the people & history. I know you felt a disconnect but YOUR BOOKS are exactly why I am here & they should always be in the forefront on this site.It's a shame that not everyone has read your books because I think they are missing out on one hell of a story! You & the books are exactly why I wanted to go on the Shindig & had to choose a week & the first was the one for me because of your books and the places in them.I appreciate you & your gift.Thank you>>>>>>>>>>

  • As I read your note and everyone's replies tears are streaming down my cheeks. I guess we all feel a certain amount of disconnect at one time with regards to a certain aspect of our lives. Ironic that we often discover it to be more pivitol than we ever realized. I'm not as eloquent as yourself or the other Shammies but I think you know just how much this trip meant to me and I'm not talking just about my family and visiting the south. So much was brought to life for me and made so tangible that it often made my heart ache. I can't imagine Ireland without you, your characters or fellow Shammies and I definitely will go back!

  • Cindy it was wonderful watching you experience Ireland for the first time, and having great talks with you about it as well. I am so glad you decided to come on the trip, and was thrilled that you found new information about your family- it really ended the trip beautifully, I thought.
