Hi Louise and Winnie, thanks for a beautiful letter. I read it all, right to the end, it was a pleasure to read your lovely words. I will keep this short but enjoy the rest of your stay and have a glass of something nice tonight for yourself and Winnie.

Take good care and speak soon,

Martina.

What a heartwarming read Lou..As you

know I care for my mum Joyce who’s 95, with my sister Tricia . The words ring very true it’s not been easy daily over the last few years we aren’t teenagers at 66 and 71. ourselves Mum and Dad both wanted to remain at home and not go into a nursing home , Dad passed in April at home .. as will mum when it’s her time to . So that’s what we have both done whole heartedly through out our retirements .. So pleased you have got away to take stock ! It’s definitely something I’ll do myself when I have the time again … Take care and how marvellous you’ve restored your soul and found peace of mind xx ( ps you may wonder what my association with the Hill of Down area are the O’ Reilly’s who farm there but live in Enfield.Kathleen and Vinnie live in Gaybrook Enniscoffey , and we holidayed in their little cottage in the Hill for a good few years , so know Kinnegad well.My husband was from Milltownpass . I watch the Thursday healing Mass from St Camillus.

. We often ate at the Monastery not far from you and Granny ..Small world hey !! lovely to speak with you Lou ..

I am so happy you made this leap and took this weekend away. How special and how well deserved xoxo
