Sean O' Donnell's story is a love story.

When I think of my Dad, I am painfully aware that Sean O’Donnell will not be around forever. I am the eldest of seven children he and Mom raised in a home they built from scratch in Woodstock, Illinois. His story, their story, our story is a love story.
In 1936, my father was the fifth born to James and Cassie poor farmers in Kilcar, County Donegal, Ireland. He walked barefoot to a one room school house that included all the grades much like the one on “Little House on the Prairie.” He often ate only one potato a day.
His stories of Ireland are filled with his love of music, love of his roots, and special treats like the Christmas he received an orange for a present. At 10 years old, he’d had never even seen, smelled, or felt such an exotic, rare, and precious gift as they are not grown nearby. “It was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted and I savored ever sweet golden bite.”

He left school at age 14 for a hard factory job to help support his family. My dad finally made it to the shores of America at age 22, to play accordion in a big band, and live in New York City. But it wasn’t until he returned to Ireland for a visit that he met my mother. She was traveling through Europe after graduating from College and for him it was love at first sight.

This is my first version of the story, I'm writing a guest blog post on:
