A recent study based on an analysis of Google searches revealed the words that British people have the most difficulty pronouncing. Healy isn’t alone, though, when it comes to anglophone bafflement at Irish names. Last year, the lead singer of The 1975, Matt Healy, managed to offend a whole lot of Gaelgoirí (Irish speakers) when he appeared to mock a fan’s name – Dervla – at a meet-and-greet. Tl:dr I love my stepdad and these tags made me cry I wish everyone who has a bad or absent parent would get a loving step-parent replacement!! He's helped me move, helped me with car trouble, talked me down from panic attacks, bought me a laptop for college, drove across LA at 6 in the morning to drop off my hearing aid because I left it at my mom's house and he knew I didn't like going to work without it: just doing a bunch of nice things that I had never experienced from a father-figure before. When he proposed to my mom, he bought matching necklaces for us (and a watch for my brother), because he felt he was marrying into the family, not just my mom, and our blessing was really important to him. I remember him calling us that long before he and my mom were even married, striking up conversations with strangers, and if they asked him about kids, he'd laugh and say "I've got four!" He always seems so happy that he went from a family of one to a family of six, basically overnight. But he looked at me and my three younger siblings, (all traumatized and troubled and distrusting because of our biological father) and said "yep, these are my kids now". He and my mom started dating when I was eighteen, and since I was an adult, its not like he had any obligation to parent me. He really stepped up (pun-intended) as a dad, too. Suddenly a day in July of 1997 when he was a young cafe-working 26 year old becomes special, even though he wouldn't know it for almost 20 years. #i think this is kind of a sweet thing to say anyway #'your presence in my life has made me remember an otherwise forgettable day' #and the use of 'i didnt have a clue' as if to say 'i was so foolish not to know that my daughter was being born' #even though there was no way he could have known #maybe im just a big sap but □ (via I just had to share these tags because !!! They are so sweet, but also really accurate to what my stepdad is like- like yes, you so succinctly interpreted the love in these joking messages. I am strong and noble, I could surely carry such a burden more readily than she”. “If I had met the girl” says the knight, “I would’ve taken the weight from her.

News of the girl’s death reaches the capital. The weight of the world is still on her shoulders. How weak must you be, asking your burden be relieved”.Ī girl stands alone in a field. “Whoever would I help you? Every man is given a burden to carry.
