Hello, and welcome to the forum. :wave:

Could you give us a starting point? What would you like to say? These will be your words after all. I don't think there any specific Irish 'quotes' as such.

Welcome to the forum :wave:

Initially, to get the ball rolling:

"A iníona, is sibhse mo chroí"

But, I found a lovely translation of a request given by Redwolf and a few others awhile back on the other site:

"Maireann an tAthair i gCroíthe a Iníonacha"

A father lives in the hearts of his daughters

or to personalise it:

"Mairimse i gCroíthe m'Iníonacha"

I live/survive in the hearts of my daughters

"Mairimse tré (GM)/trí Chroíthe m'Iníonacha"

I live through the hearts of my daughters

Await further input

These are great, thanks so much for the quick responses, its helped me think it through a bit more. Is there a translation for My love for my daughters lives forever in my heart? or something close? Thanks again!
