Late of Carriglong in Tramore and formerly of The Manor in Waterford City, Marie carried with her a lifetime of memories and friendships from the places she called home, including the years she spent in Coventry where many lasting bonds were formed. Predeceased by her beloved husband John, remembered by many as the love of her life, and by her brothers and sisters, Marie remained the centre of a large and devoted family. Her children John, Marina, Mandy, Glenn, Darren and Neil were the pride of her life, and nothing brought her greater happiness than the company of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Valentine’s Day isn’t only for couples.
It’s about love, in every form.

Here’s something that stopped me in my tracks as a parent.

Many estimates suggest that by the time our children turn 5, we’ve already spent roughly 50% of the total “at home” time we’ll ever get with them.
By 12, it can be around 75%.
By 18, close to 90%.

The days feel long.
But the years move fast.

This photo is of Ian, heading off on his travels.
Proud doesn’t even cover it.
But I’d be lying if I said it didn’t tug at the heart too.

I lost my mother many years ago.
And it’s on days like today, and on days like this, that the simplest words meant everything to me.
Not perfect words.
Just real ones.

If Valentine’s Day feels heavy for you, please know you’re not alone.
And if you can, don’t sit with it by yourself.

Go visiting.
Pick up the phone.
Send the message.
Call in for a cup of tea.
Say something kind that will stay with someone.

Chocolates are lovely.
Flowers too.
But words, when they carry meaning, last a lifetime.

Today, tell someone you love them.
Or simply tell them you’re thinking of them.
