The American Wake?

Sorry for the misleading title πŸ˜€. In Ireland, when a family member emigratedβ€”often to the U.S.β€”the night before their departure was treated like a wake, because families believed they might never see them again. “A funeral wake is a gathering of family and friends to honour someone who has died, usually offering a more relaxed, … Continue reading The American Wake?
