Shoutout to my truly tough-as-nails grandmother, Lily Newman (née Brew), born 100 years ago in Kilrush, County Clare. She got a letter as Gaeilge and a check from President Connolly, but was most pleased with her banoffee birthday cake.

Wow. What a life. And still going! Thank you for sharing. The letter from Ireland is so cool.

Cool, eh? She was born a dozen years before Ireland’s first president took office!
