Hi everyone

I am new to the board and need help

My father came from Waterford but died back in the 1960s and have forgotten any words he taught me. I lost my son recently in an accident and wish to have a tattoo but one word I want is Son in Irish

Can anyone help me with this please?

Hi K8lin, welcome to the forum :hullo: . Is oth liom do chás, very sorry to hear about your son!

Here are a few options:

Mac 'son'

Mo mhac 'my son'

Mac mo chroí 'son of my heart'

wait for three to agree.

Sorry again to hear of your trouble.

Cian
