In 2021, we marked the 10th anniversary of Patrick's death.
10 years of birthdays and milestones. 10 years of wondering why. 10 years of miss. 10 years of memories and hoping they will never fade.
Lockdown made our usual traditions more challenging but I was determined to at least go visit his grave and sneak in a walk in his memory.
On Jan 25th 2021, some of the country was covered under a blanket of fresh snow. So, after bringing him some nice flowers, we drove up towards Maghera for a walk in a true winter wonderland.
Snow does not happen very often in Ireland which made the walk even more magical. As schools were online at that time, we got to share that day with Patrick's brother. The pristine white snow, the sound of it under our boots, the quiet, the deep blue sky and the sunshine it was just what our souls needed at that time.
It would be the first of many Peaks For Patrick in 2021 and I'll share the others in due course.
A new dawn for my little soul
So goodbye beloved friend
There's a life beyond, this is not the end
