TWO FIGURINES DUBLIN IRELAND

These two little figurines symbolise my two children. Today they are in their 30s. I so wish to find a little home for these figurines. My heart was broken in England in the 1980s when I could no longer accept my husband’s vicious temper. The eldest child bore the brunt of it, and I simply had to take responsibility for their safety. We left without his knowledge and travelled to Ireland by boat on a winter night. We came only with the clothes we were wearing. Ironically, it was my eldest girl who was most distraught. “Leaving Daddy behind” was the hardest part. A couple of years later, when we had settled into our new life, I purchased these two little figurines to remember these sweet little girls. The older one loved writing letters to her dad and the youngest loved knitting. There are inscriptions on the bases: “Wishing you a warm and cosy winter” and “He hasn’t forgotten me”. My husband never improved his mean temper, but the girls still keep in touch. Thanks for this opportunity.
