Meirice\u00e1<\/span>nach Maith<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Rugadh Alex George i Sasana<\/span>, agus tar \u00e9is d\u00f3<\/span> roin<\/span>nt blianta a chaitheamh mar dhl\u00edod\u00f3<\/span>ir<\/span>,<\/span> <\/span>thug s\u00e9 na St\u00e1it Aontaithe air fh\u00e9<\/span>in<\/span>,<\/span> sa bhliain 2003<\/span>, \u00e1it a bhfuil Comhlacht Dl\u00ed d\u00e1 chuid fh\u00e9<\/span>in aige anois i gColumbia, Missouri.<\/span> Sc\u00e9al faoi dheora\u00edocht agus <\/span>faoi <\/span>d<\/span>h<\/span>eoraithe at\u00e1 le hinsint ag an \u00fadar san \u00farsc\u00e9<\/span>al corraitheach<\/span>, uil\u00ed<\/span>och<\/span>, seo.

F\u00e9ach mar a chuireann an t-\u00fadar seo t\u00fas lena sc\u00e9<\/span>al…..<\/span><\/p>

\u201cAlways, there was music.<\/span><\/p>

It was music \u2013 Puccini, to be precise \u2013 that first drew my grandparents into each other\u2019s orbit, more than a hundred years ago.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>

I Hanover na Gearm\u00e1<\/span>ine a tharla. Henr<\/span>iette Furst ab ainm don tseanmh\u00e1<\/span>thair <\/span>sin, ach<\/span> Jette a thugta\u00ed uirthi de ghn\u00e1th. Bh\u00ed s\u00ed ard<\/span>,<\/span> t\u00e9agartha, agus \u00ed ag si\u00fal lei go r\u00e1bach tr\u00ed Gharra\u00ed<\/span> na Cathrach<\/span>, nuair a chuala s\u00ed guth bre\u00e1 firi<\/span>nn as taobh thiar de thor <\/span>deas de<\/span>alfa. Chuir s\u00ed<\/span> suim sa ghuth agus<\/span>,<\/span> ar ball<\/span>, sa t\u00e9<\/span> ar leis an guth<\/span> taitneamhach sin<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe voice that had halted J<\/span>ette\u2019s afternoon walk belonged<\/span> <\/span>to my grandfather, Frederick Meisenheimer. In fact, her intuition had been exactly right: he <\/span>was<\/em><\/span> singing just for her.<\/span><\/p>

Thit an bheirt i ngr\u00e1, ach bh\u00ed ceata\u00ed sa sc\u00e9al \u00e1<\/span>fach,<\/span> <\/span>n\u00f3 n\u00ed raibh m\u00e1thair Frederick s\u00e1<\/span>sta le ro<\/span>gha a mic, agus ar ball, agus d\u00e1 bharr sin, thug an l\u00e1n\u00fain \u00f3g Meirice\u00e1 orthu fh\u00e9in agus gan focal B\u00e9arla ag ceachtar acu!<\/span> Ar Nua E<\/span>abhrac a thugadar aghaidh ar dt\u00fa<\/span>s, <\/span>ach ar bhealach amh\u00e1in n\u00f3<\/span> ar bhealach eile,<\/span> n\u00f3 tr\u00ed<\/span> dheargthimpiste<\/span> fi\u00fa<\/span>,<\/span> ba i mbaile Beatrice<\/span>,<\/span> i Missouri<\/span>, a chr\u00edochnaigh siad. Bh\u00ed<\/span> Jette ag iompar<\/span>,<\/span> agus <\/span>rugadh mac d\u00f3<\/span>ibh sa mbaile sin. <\/span>\u00d3<\/span> tharla go raibh<\/span> an gas\u00far cine\u00e1<\/span>l lag<\/span>,<\/span> mhol an doc<\/span>ht\u00fair d\u00f3<\/span>ibh gan bogadh as Beatrice<\/span>, go f\u00f3<\/span>ill beag<\/span>,<\/span> n\u00f3 bh\u00ed<\/span> baol ann<\/span>, go gcaillf\u00ed an p\u00e1iste<\/span>,<\/span> d\u00e1<\/span> nd\u00e9anfaid\u00eds. <\/span><\/p>

A<\/span>n <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Knick-Nack<\/em><\/span>\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Bh\u00ed<\/span> go maith<\/span>,<\/span> agus ba <\/span>\u00e9 deireadh an sc\u00e9il \u00e9 n\u00f3 gur thug an docht\u00fair c\u00e9<\/span>anna sin post do Frederick mar bhainisteoir ar <\/span>a <\/span>Theach \u00d3<\/span>sta, an <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Nick- Nack<\/span>\u201d<\/span>, \u00f3<\/span> tha<\/span>rla go mba leis<\/span>-sean<\/span> an Knick-Nack c\u00e9<\/span>anna sin. Sin mar a th<\/span>arla gur shocraig<\/span>h Frederick agus a bhean s\u00ed<\/span>os i mbaile Beat<\/span>rice<\/span>,<\/span> i Missouri.<\/span> Bh\u00ed an docht\u00fair s\u00e1<\/span>sta freisin<\/span>, teach d\u00e1 chuid a ligean ar ch\u00ed<\/span>os leo<\/span>. <\/span>Chuir Frederick<\/span>,<\/span> a bhean<\/span>,<\/span> agus a gclann f\u00fa<\/span>thu sa mbaile sin Beatrice<\/span> feasta. D\u2019oibrigh Frederick fh\u00e9in go dian d\u00ed<\/span>cheallach ina phost nua<\/span>, agus d\u2019\u00e9irigh leis sl\u00ed<\/span> bheatha <\/span>s\u00e1s\u00fail a bhaint amach<\/span> doibh<\/span> ansin. Ar ball, \u00e1fach, agus an ch\u00e9ad chogadh m\u00f3r faoi l\u00e1n-tseol, liost\u00e1il Frederick in A<\/span>rm Mheirice\u00e1, agus tar \u00e9is d\u00f3 t<\/span>raen\u00e1<\/span>il a <\/span>dh\u00e9<\/span>anamh don g<\/span>hn\u00f3<\/span> sin<\/span>, bhain s\u00e9 fh\u00e9<\/span>in is <\/span>a chomplacht an Eoraip amach, n\u00f3<\/span> theastaigh<\/span> uaidh an<\/span> c<\/span>homhairle<\/span> \u00fad<\/span> a tugadh d\u00f3,<\/span> tamall roimhe sin…bh<\/span>eith ina <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Good American<\/span>\u201d<\/span>…a lean\u00fa<\/span>int. <\/span><\/p>
