My cousin rang me. Her husband who is a kidney transplant recipient has contracted covid at work. He is full vaccinated but got it from a colleague who refused to be vaccinated and who came to work knowing he was a close contact of a positive case! Talk about selfish!

I had a miscarriage 18 years ago. It still stays with me. So, today, on Mother's Day I'm thinking of all those who struggle with infertility, those who have lost babies, whether in miscarriage or stillborn. Mammies come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, in spirit and otherwise.

Whenever I was single, Herself in Donegal would send me a Valentine's Day card. She would call me to ask if I got any cards and if I'd say I got two she'd get so excited, forget herself and say "Ooh who sent the other one!" Happy Valentines Day, Mammy. I love you. ❤

Feeling very sorry for Leaving cert students. I did my LC in 1988 (I know; I am a dinosaur) and to this day, I remember the look on my headmaster's face when he said incredulously, "Jesus, you did REALLY well!" Imagine if he had calculated my grades! #LeavingCert2020

We got old and got used to each other. We think alike. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little. Sometimes we take each other for granted. But once in a while, I think how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest man I ever met.
