We're all Irish today! Let' celebrate together.
My mom was Shirley Florence Sullivan. Her ancestor Patrick Joseph O'Sullivan came to America in the early 1800s, changed his name to Sullivan, moved into the wilderness, and married a German woman. 🥰

Dalia Blackburn forced herself to get out of her truck. She stared at the seedy building, its monstrous neon sign on the roof blinking red light like a sinister dragon spitting fire on a damsel in distress.
