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. And what about all those who have never officially had the title ‘Dad’ but have been the most amazing of Dads to those younger generations that they have taken under their wing? This poem is my attempt to address the bigger picture of the word ‘Dad’ on a day like today…. I hope you enjoy x

I have met people… Continue reading ‘A MOTHER’S DAY FOR ALL’, reflection and poem, by Pauline O’Shea

As I lay in my bed in a large cardiac ward some years ago after open heart surgery, I became somewhat fixated on a tiny window on the opposite side of the ward. It wasn’t even showing a great view, unless you count a metal fire escape as ‘artistic’. If I was asked at the… Continue reading NATURE’S HEALING… science shows that connecting with nature can improve our physical health… so is it time Doctors prescribed ‘Nature’ to patients?
