Brigid There are other ways of saying it, but there's nothing wrong with "cronaím thú" Since this is for a tattoo, please wait for more input.

Apparently this is for MULTIPLE grandmothers. So, in any of the choices, "thú" needs to be replaced with "sibh."

"Airím uaim sibh / I miss you" "Cronaím sibh / ~~~~~~~" Both translations are in the plural form. MisterShamrock PS - Well spotted 'DoireTrasna'!

I'd swear that DT goes through every post with a fine toothed comb and a magnifying glass. His attention to detail is amazing. Now if he could only put that to good use. Just kidding, a chara. Maith thú!
