The Many Faces of Peace

By Grant Sheehan Embracing Peace: The Legacy of the Sheehan Family As I sit down to write this blog post, I am inspired by the deep-rooted values and meanings embedded in my family name, Sheehan. Originating from the Gaelic word "O'Síothcháin," which translates to "descendant of Síothcháin," my surname encapsulates a beautiful legacy of peace and tranquility.
