When my father was a little boy, he lived with his sisters, parents, and his grandmother at 251 Seamen Avenue in Inwood.  As a child, my father was very close to his grandmother, and as a little boy, the two would go to church every day.  My great-grandmother's name was Anne Marie O'Shea-Healy, and she was an immigrant from Bocare, Ireland.  My father was her favorite grandchild, and when he was very young, he asked her (with all the grace of a six-year old), "When you die, Can I have your wedding ring for my wife?" to which she replied, "Of course."  After she passed away in 1974, my grandmother, Patricia, held onto the rings and wore them until my father was engaged to be married to my mother, at which point she gave the rings to my father, who then presented them to my mother, whose fingers the rings have adorned for nearly a quarter of a century.
