May 2017 on a balcony overlooking the Dublin cityscape at sunset in the first flush of a now lost love.

Kindness, intelligence, mischief.

A ring my mother had made for me using gold and some precious stones from old rings of my Granny’s.

My mother, Maighread Nī Dhomhnaill.

Curiosity, passion, impatience.
