Touch of the Green

One of the many milestones that John and Alex were looking forward to this year was Alex becoming PERMANENT, a permanent resident that is. Although having lived in this country most of her life, Alex had never made it through all the bureaucratic hurdles to get her "Green Card." It's an arduous, time-consuming process, and for the last year of his life, John held Alex's hand through the sometimes frustrating delays. Although not anticipated for some months to come, Alex received her Green Card in the mail this past week. Loving all things Irish, we're certain that John's touch of the green continued to help shepherd Alex to attainment of this exciting milestone. Next time you toast John with a Guinness, be sure to offer a congratulatory toast to Alex as well. It's a significant accomplishment for both of them!
