The Irish Homecoming: An Irish love story - returned expat loving Ireland more than ever

April Drew loving her home country more than ever.

“All I do is work to pay the bills, clothe the girlfriend and have a few pints at the weekend. What kind of life is that?” he responded.

A pretty decent one I think.

Several people have only ever seen New York on the television. They would make statements and ask me questions about whether I lived near the Empire State Building, or did I stay out all night at weekends (the city that never sleeps and all that), is my wardrobe to die for and the most frequently asked question — did I meet many famous people?

Sometimes I entertain them with my silly stories, but most of the time I remind them how wonderful Ireland is and it shouldn’t be taken for granted. Grass is always greener no matter where you are but one thing is for sure, if you’re prepared to see the glass half full life is always easier.

Now let me get back to my romance with Ireland. I hope, unlike a lot of first loves, this one lasts.
