IT’S A DAY OF CELEBRATION BUT A DAY OF MIXED EMOTIONS TOO for many… those without Dads, for a lifetime, or lost through ill health or death, those who longed to be Dads, but never were, or those who were, but lost a child.

This poem is my attempt to address the bigger picture of the word ‘Dad’ on a day like today…. I hope you enjoy x

‘A HEART’, by Pauline O’Shea… a poem written for everyone who has one!
As a heart patient who has survived multiple heart attacks as a result of a condition called SCAD (Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection) combined with a medical misdiagnosis, and then went on to experience a cardiac arrest, open heart surgery and a diagnosis of heart failure, you may think I’d sort of fallen out of love… Continue reading ‘A HEART’, by Pauline O’Shea… a poem written for everyone who has one!
