Beautiful. Wonderful. Heart-warming. Human. Humane. Fluent. Empathic. Moving. Seasonal. Epiphanic. Gentle. Powerful. Smile-inducing.

Thank you.

I work for a cold and often heartless company somewhere near the Potomac, which to my chagrin has cunningly found a way to ban most of the blog sites I read to keep myself entertained at work. It’s a good think I found your site when I did because I would have gone truly mad.
Thank you for the beautiful writing. There’s not enough of it in the blogosphere. And thanks for somehow eluding my employer’s clutches. That certainly deserves to be toasted everyday!

Incredible story of love and devotion. Sitting here in my office (it’s twilight right now in Los Angeles, and icy-cold for early December; the sky is cloaked in deep shades of lavendar, purple and crimson, heartbreakingly beautiful in a uniquely Southern California way), reading your heartfelt recollection, brought unexpected tears to these jaded green eyes. Thanks for the entertaining, interesting entries. Love and macaroni salad to you and yours….

lucky in his parents, lucky in his fairy god mother Dervala. I have to echo the “where have you been” sentiments. I miss reading your posts. They are like sunshine. And we don’t get enough sunshine these dark winter days in Dublin.

Lullaby to Liam;

“And you, of tender years,
Can’t know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents(& fairy godmother) well,
Their children’s hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you’ll know by.

Don’t you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you”
(From Crosby,Stills,Nash&Young)
