If my house were to catch fire, and I had but one thing I could rescue, aside of course from my children, and maybe my husband, I wonder what it would be? It makes me question value. What is more valuable to me, something tangible that costs a pretty penny, or memories, which are priceless? … More Which would you choose?
A part of me is missing, each and every day. I have tried to “get over it”, and to forget about it, but it is a feeling I cannot dismiss. I am the mother of four children, but one of them is not at home. She is away having a wonderful time, holidaying working in … More The missing link
I have wondered when to announce this, but I feel like no time is a good time. So brace yourselves, get your tissues ready, and find the number for your local counselling service. In four more sleeps I am going on holiday. I will be away for ten days! I have wondered what to do … More I have to go!

As a nurse you meet so many people. However there are some people you meet, and for whatever reason you never forget them. Mary was one such a person for me. Mary was a “Real Dub”. She came from a long line of Dubliners, and lived in an area, which was filled with other “Real … More An unforgettable character.
Today you woke up as usual ready to greet another day. For most or you today will not be one you will ever recall. For us we will never forget it. As I sit here an amazing journey is beginning. Somewhere many miles away in the United States, a young woman is leaving her home … More Today is THE day.
Daily Prompt: Stranger in a Strange Land. Every time I see an immigrant, struggling to speak English here, I think “This could be their story”.
