A MOTHER’S LOVE IS A BLESSING

For a young girl raised in the charismatic north-side of Cork city in the late 70-80’s I can say, with great truth, that I had a fairy tale childhood within a very large, close and loving family.  I had parents that did everything they could to see us well fed and dressed – a fierce task in hard times with nine children.  Being the third youngest of nine, I know that I hadn’t a care in the world then, as it was my mother…

My Grandfather was a brave Fenian man...

Who hailed from Oldcastle, Co Meath from a family of Tin Merchants..

As a child I see him, with a broken arm in a sling -

His flat cap and his jacket that hung in limp like cloth from age.

I only have that one snippet of memory

But he is my Granddad all the same...

I recall the vigil as we, children, were brought in "to say goodbye"

There was a ghostlike presence in the bed...

The white linen and starched cloths…
