Thanks in advance
Thanks for everything

Go raibh maith agat as gach rud

Family is tricky to translate, as the English concept of "Family" isn't the same as the Irish...
Teaghlach is family, as in the people living in the same house.
Clann is family, as in your children and their families... kind of like descendents
Muintir is the wider, extended family, and community in general.
