Today marks 4,765 days since our beloved 13 year old daughter passed away after courageously battling #BrainCancer. 💔 Nothing would fill our hearts with greater happiness than to see her beautiful name written 4,765 times in the comments, one for every day we’ve longed for her presence. For parents who have lost a Child, simply seeing or hearing their name is one of the most precious gifts, a way to keep their memory & spirit shining brightly. ❤️ A repost & follow would touch us deeply, helping to honor & preserve our sweet Ashley’s legacy forever. 💜 𝒜𝓈𝒽𝓁𝑒𝓎 💜

My 13 year old Daughter died from #BrainCancer 4,679 days ago. 💔 I would LOVE to see my Ashley’s name 4,679 times in comments for all the days she’s been missing. When you lose a Child, the most beautiful word you can hear is their name. ❤️ A Repost & Follow would mean the world to us to keep our Ashley’s story alive. 💜 𝒜𝓈𝒽𝓁𝑒𝓎 💜

Memories of Fionn’s Paddle Out on Aug 6th 2021 came up on my phone. A beautiful and poignant and fitting tribute from fellow lifeguards, water safety colleagues, surf life competitors and surfers as Fionn drowned due to a catastrophic brain aneurism. Miss u son. #forever20 #grief

This time last year, we had just finished her big girl room in the new house. She got 7 precious weeks in it, and was proud as punch of her bunk bed. I was worried she would miss her cot, but she always surprised me. Slept like the angel she is. X

Festival season .. hard to know whether you’d be partying or lining out with your team mates on the playing fields. Hard to believe it’s nearly 4 years since you got to make those calls. I’m sure you’d have managed a bit of both. Miss you Fionn. #forever20 #grief

Hard to celebrate your 24th birthday yesterday. A lot of sadness around Dylan, Olivia & Éanna. But remembering the joy of your 20 years, we make the cake, discussed your dietary preferences over a lovely dinner and had a beautiful bird visitor. Love you Fionn ❤️ #forever20 #grief

Cooper on the lookout. Numbness has descended again, Dylan a friend of Fionn’s died on Good Friday and the grief has amplified and we are all devastated for his family and friends. A beautiful young man gone on ahead, Hope the catch up is epic. ❤️ Dylan #grief

Sunday morning and I draw the curtains. Jesus what a horrible sight ! Its grey dark and the sky looks to be on the ground. The scene mirrors the way I feel after yesterday evenings result in the football with The Dubs beating us in our own backyard by a point. I have to face them at Punchestown today, putting on a smiley face and let their banter roll off me. Oh the thoughts of it ! Problem is I’m used to it now sure they have us where they want us for the past decade and a half. Pick up the phone check whats happening in the world, is Trump giving us a laugh today ? Wallop ! Noooo ! Aw Holy God ! Like a heavy weight boxers punch into the stomach The IHRB let us know that Mikey has left us. Punchestown and The Point To Points called off. Be no trace of any Dubs today ! Oh how I’m wishing now that there was, that way wouldn’t Mikey still be with us. Tramore New Years Day 47 nights ago. Mikey steers Embassy Gardens home to win the feature event on the card for trainer Willie Mullins. I photograph him and his mount in a happy kinda celebration shot on the track before they head for the winners enclosure. “Well done Mikey boy, good on you kid” “Thanks Pat, I needed that” the relief washing over him. “Mikey, this game is about the long road, stay on the road” I tell him. “Don’t worry Pat when I get my chance I will turn it into a motorway” he says and a big hearty laugh out of him !! I know Mikey, not well but I know him. Sure we are both part of the same community. The racing community. We move from town to town like a circus. Same clowns different towns. As I get older I appreciate the younger generations. They make me smile and I learn from them. Little life lessons like new slang words, phone and computer shortcuts, that type of stuff. Sure they know it all ! Mikey is a step above the youngest generation I interact with. There is a group of 16-17 year olds riding. Mikey is 24. I love capturing their 1st success on the track and then watching them achieve their goals and dreams. Cheltenham is every jump jockey’s dream and in March 2023 we saw Mikey grab his dream twice in the one day. Glorious,Great and Gracious, Mikey stole the show in the biggest circus.If you hadn’t seen the results you wouldn’t have known it. His cap still fitted his head, his walk didn’t alter and his tongue didn’t let him down. Pure humble hi. The last few days everything I have read and heard spoken about him is true. It makes me wish I knew him better. Makes me wish I spent time in his company socially. Makes me wish…… Mikey you are a credit to your family and friends. May God speed you on that motorway and wrap his loving arms around you X
