Welcome to the forum and sorry for your loss this is the way all the girls of CW are I stood outside the gals Bus the night before you talked with her and talked with Mairead for about 15 Min. How Mairead signs if I remember right, it is Irish Slainte (Slainté an Irish Scots Gaelic word roughly equivalent to the English word “Cheers”) I have several things signed by her to me with that but tomorrow I will look at some other photos I have that she has signed. Enjoy the Forum and ask any question you have someone here will most likely be able to answer it. I myself have seen 19 years of shows and met most of the Girls and being the owner and admin of the Forum, the girls all know me

First of all, sorry to hear about your dad. I'll say a little prayer for you.

Thanks for sharing your experience with CW. Great story!

No, I don't see your photo. The easiest way to show pics on here (for me) has been posting a link to another website that actually hosts the pic.

Hello everyone! I'm new around here. My name is Ashlyn Keller and on the 18th I got to see my very first Celtic Woman concert! It was such a special evening and I was praying the whole time that somehow I would be able to meet the members. It actually happened! I've looked up to Mairead since I was about 14, and I was able to meet her after so many years of waiting. We took a picture together, and after I nervously asked, "Can I ask you a somewhat personal question?" She looked at me, grinned, and replied, "It depends..." my question probably came off as weird... I should've rephrased it. I began, "I know your dad passed away a few years ago. What kept you going?" She looked at me, smiled, and said, simply, "Music." She then proceeded to ask if I had gone through a loss. I explained I had just lost my father in July, the same month she had. She looked at me and earnestly said, I'm sorry for your loss... and even before we parted, she looked at me and apologized again for my loss. I didn't reply because I didn't know what to say... I was so shocked. She was so kind in taking a few pictures with me and even signed my program, as did the rest of the members. I went to look at it later that night, and, to my dismay, I was unable to make out what she had written. The other members signed something like, "lots of love," or something similar. I can't read what she did write but I know she didn't write anything like that. Can any of you all read it? I'm having trouble posting a picture, so if one doesn't show up don't be alarmed

Welcome Ashlyn! Thanks for sharing your story and I'm so sorry for your loss. What a lovely Celtic Woman experience you had! If you're able to get the photo to post I'll certainly see if I can make out what it says.

Wow! Thank you for sharing us your heartfelt experience with Mairead and CW and how finally able to meeting them meant so much to you, and realizing that you share the same thing whatever it is it's the united front that we are all in this incredible life together! ❤️
