My aunt Mary passed away yesterday. She was one of my favorite people and possibly the person who knew my dad better than anyone.
I’ll miss her wisdom, wit, kindness and the unwavering calmness and serenity that was her natural disposition. A modern day stoic. ✨

stuff too, so my energy when I'm out and about is going to be all over the place.
If you see me out and I'm not firing on all cylinders/I've regressed into my shell, you already know it's not personal but I'll reiterate it all the same.
I'm trying to hold on, is what I'm saying.

Bit of honesty for the timeline because why not.
The last week was a lot of overwhelming environments, hard work and pushing myself when I otherwise wasn't really there mentally. It's been like that on and off the last few months and I've been hyper focusing on certain jobs in 🧵

Limerick's University Hospital has made headlines quite a bit this year, mostly for their trolley numbers. This bank holiday weekend my dad arrived there by ambulance, having had a stroke.
And yes, he was on a trolley, for the first night.
My dad is 82 years old.
However.
The fact he was on a trolley did not impact on the level of care that he was given. His care was incredibly fast, it was comprehensive and it was excellent. CT scans, blood tests and immediate stroke assessment. And as soon as there was space, he was moved into a cubicle in the AMU.
He's still in the acute medical unit, which is spotlessly clean and very well run. He's very impressed with the menu!
The staff at UHL are from all over the world, from Tipperary to Timbuktu and from the bottom of my heart I am grateful to everyone working there, who are taking such good care of him, and despite how busy there are still take a minute here and there to smile and chat. (My dad loves to chat!)
Lots more tests tomorrow. His faculties are good, we're hoping it was just a minor stroke. For now it has impacted his vision and balance, but that with OT support he can make an excellent recovery.
Elderly parents are a difficult reality for people my age but also a privilege. It's something that we can and should plan and prepare for.
Thank you to all the folks at @ULHospitals and #TeamULHG.

@tedvid Don’t over pre-buy! Anything you need can usually be found on prime / target and be delivered next day

Okay parents, what’s the one overlooked thing you that you wish you had gotten earlier?

This weekend in @Mondello_Park was epic. The tallest teen is obsessed with Japanese cars so for his birthday, we hung out at #JAPFEST to watch the best drifters chew up the track. Seriously technical, lovely crowd and exhilarating to watch.
