<p>Godspeed, Des...</p> <p>" Just yesterday morn, they let me know you had gone...</p> <p>" I have seen fire & rain, but I always thought I would see you again."</p> <p>Des, Eidin`s Dad, was one of few words, so sitting with him was a breeze in the beginning for he did not like to talk too much. He would dry wittedly quip that he had <em>enough</em> of those who did.</p> <p>I would chuckle for I was a listener as well.</p> <p>In time with my visits & Christmas phone calls, expected/unexpected visits to crash at their house in the month of July 1982 Dalkey after they had found a home for my 1st exhange student, walks to Bray on a Sunday morn to have a pint, conversations on Spain because of his inquisitive nature on sporadic visits with my mom in 1998, my brother & his family in 2000, & lastly in June of 2009 on going to a wedding in Wexford.</p> <p>He loved Rugby & would pull my leg about Fergues Slattery... private joke.</p> <p>I would see Katheleen, Dierdre,Ronan & Niall... plus husbands wives & grand kids... Crazy.</p> <p>I was at my Home away from home away from home...</p> <p>To me, no one leaves for my thought process sees one as he was & is...</p> <p>We can converse to make it a breeze...</p>
