who died from cancer on February 4th.
A poem/Dán ( in Gaelic and English)
Bríd
Mo ghrá,mo bhean,máthair mo pháistí álainn,
Mo anam chara
My love,my wife,mother of my beautiful children,
My soul friend
Buíochas don ghrá a thug tú domh
Thanks for the love you gave me.
ár saol álainn le chéile,
our beautiful life together,
na páistí,
the children,
Colm,Brídín,Oisín,
do theagasc,agus inspioráid don óige,
your teaching and inspiration to our youth,
do ghrásta agus spiorad sa phobal.
your grace and kindness in the community,
na cháirde a chuir tú in aithne domh,
the friends you brought my way.
Buíochas as na turasanna a rinne muid le chéile,
Thanks for the journeys we made together,
Anois ar an cheann deireannach,
now on your last
D'fhulaing tú mar íosa le blian anuas
ar bhealach na croise.
You've suffered in the last year
Christlike on the way of the Cross.
Le dearcadh eile tá tú a amharc orainn inniu
From a different perspective you look on us today.
Tá fhios agam nár fhág tú muid,
I know you,ve not left us,
Beidh do Spiorad ag lonnradh ár mbealach
Your Spirit is lighting our way.
Agus beidh tú i gcónaí in ár gcroíthe
and you will always be in our hearts.
Go raibh maith agat a Bhríd mo ghrá.
Thanks Bríd.
I do fhocla féin
In your own words
I love you.
