What I want to inscribe is something that expresses along the line of
"My Sons, My Life " or " My Sons, My everything"

I have searched and came up with "Mo chlann mhac, Mo chuid den tsaol"
Also I want to write it in old Irish font, where the h is dropped and a dot over the c and m - can anyone assit me with that?

Is "Mo chlann mhac, Mo chuid den tsaol" correct?

Thank you all for your help!!!

Yes, that translation works for what you want. Note that Mo chuid den tsaol literally means "My bit of the/this [great big] world", but has a figurative meaning which fits "my everything" very well. Another version of it is Mo chuid den tsaol mhór, which brings in the "great big world" part more clearly.

MS Word offers some of the old fonts if you look under the Symbols button. Here's a link to a site which offers a number of the old fonts for free. There are other sources as well, so perhaps someone else can offer links:

Is there anyone who can get me a second and third confirmation of the translation for
"My Sons, My Everything" (and/or "My Life") what every is the best phrase in Irish to
convey that meaning.

Thanks and especially CaoimhínSF for answering so quickly!
