MY GRANDAS GENES.

My Grandad's genes are all over the place. I've got some and my brothers and sisters, my cousins, my father and his brother, have some.  And some of mine have gone to Cormac and onwards to Grace.  Áine got her share so Charlie has them too.  Charlie has my genes then, well among others.  But I am interested at the moment in my genes and Charlie is my grandson.  He is a bright mite is Áines Charlie and he is carrying something of me into an uncertain but optimistic future.  Go for it Charlie.  The world is your oyster.  And you have a brilliant mother; I should know; I reared her.  I taught her to ride a bike and stand up for herself and sail a boat and drive a car and how to deal with young people as I dealt with mine.
