Yes I'm Irish.
My maiden name is Killough.
We pronounced it kill-low, not kill-lock,

Killough (ki'ldx/ ki-LOKH from Irish Cill Locha, meaning "church of the loch") is a village and townland in County Down, Northern Ireland.
It lies on the Irish Sea shore near Ardglass, five miles southeast of Downpatrick.
My ancestors are from this village/township.

Upon the Irish shore
And gae his bridle reins a shake
With adieu forevermore."

My ancestors came to America in the 1600's to escape religious prosecution.

Mr D. gave us quite a scare Monday. While we were shopping in Lowe's he passed out. It was so scary, paramedics were called and he was taken to Bayshore Hospital. After too many hours in the ER he was finally in a room around midnight. Many test were done and results were coming back good. The last test was a nuclear stress test, that's when it was discovered that the one of the arteries used in his 2013 bypass surgery was blocked. By God's mercy and grace they were able to insert a stent, and he came home today. Thank you Lord Jesus.
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
Until Next Time
I am SO happy for the good news about your hubby! Praise God, indeed!! Excellent news.
ReplyDeleteMy maiden name is Kelly, so I claim some Irish blood too... but I don't have a town that I can claim as my own! Wow. That is really fun!
I can imagine how scary it was for you ( and for your husband!!) when he passed out. Good to know that a stent could be put in and he's okay.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I would have lost my mind! So thankful your husband is doing better. Praying for complete healing.
ReplyDeleteGrace & Peace,
Pam
Wow, I can imagine what a fright that was. I'm so happy to hear he made it to hospital in a timely manner and that the issue was identified quickly. Blessings to you both and prayers for a great recovery.
ReplyDeleteSo very happy Mr. D. is now home safe and sound. I know that had to be quite the scare to have happen while shopping. So thankful you knew God was with you both throughout the whole ordeal. Such peace comes from knowing you are not alone.
ReplyDeleteI love the interesting information about your ancestry and links to Ireland! That is really cool! I don't know that much about my family history, just that we are Scotch-Irish on my mother's side, and German on my father's side, with I'm sure a few other ancestors thrown in to make an interesting mix! Have you been to your town in Ireland? I'm sure that would be a fun trip for you! Praying Mr. D. continues to strengthen and will soon be back to "normal". Love and prayers to you today.
No, I haven't been to Ireland, but I sure would like to go!!
DeleteI am told my ancestors came from Ireland so we may be related, would you claim me as one! LOL
ReplyDeleteThankful Mr. D is home now after that scare. Take care of each other. God Bless you two!
You know I would claim you!!! Maybe we are long lost cousins!
DeleteLove all your pics from Ireland. I'm Irish too. Glad to hear your husband is ok. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteSo very thankful that Mr. D is home and feeling better. I can't imagine the anxiety you went through. Continued prayers, sweet Friend. 💜
ReplyDeleteSo glad they found the problem and all is well. Scary for you both. hugs, lj
ReplyDeleteDear Mary,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your husband, but thankful that the doctors were able to put in a stent and that all went well. I know you are glad to have him home.
I'm also happy to see you celebrating your heritage of being Irish! Loved viewing all of the pictures and hearing how your ancestors came to the U.S. to escape religious persecution. That is quite a heritage!
Oh my Mary, thank The Lord that Mr. D is all well now. Love the information on your Irish heritage and the wonderful photos too. Been having a problem with wifi here the past few days, Thank goodness all seems well now. Have a day of blessings my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness they found the problem and solved it! How awful it must have been for you both.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your Irish post :). What a pretty little town.
