PIC: Irish mammy sends care package to her son in Australia along with a lovely note for customs

Joe Harrington

This is very sweet.

A care package from home is one of the best things you can get when you’re living abroad and thousands of them have been sent out over the last few weeks.

Tralee woman Jacinta O’Mahony sent a package to her son Brendan who has been living in Perth, Australia for the last four years.

Jacinta was a little bit worried that the package might not get through customs in Perth so she left this really sweet note for the airport staff.

Perth Customs

If you can’t read it, here’s what it says.

“Customs in Perth. Happy Christmas from Ireland, just some goodies for my family. Please have a sweet and we will see ye in August when we hopefully get to visit your lovely country. Thanks for letting my gifts through.”

Lovely stuff.

Cheers to Danny Roche for sending this our way.  If you have something you would like to share with us, send it to [email protected] or hit us up on Facebook or Twitter.
