The most depressing day of the year, Blue Monday. Today.
Yet, it’s not for us. Most definitely not
We had an ambulance man telling Pádraig: “just a few more minutes and you’ll be home”. We had a nurse giving us hugs and wiping her tears away. We had an hospital assistant giving us an extra large portion of lunch.
Above all, we had Pádraig leaving the hospital and joining us in a new apartment that hasn’t even got bulbs connected in every room.
We had three nurses/helpers here today, together with a lady from a supplier who had organised all the stuff Pádraig needs every day.
Had I believed this was ever going to happen? – Pádraig did. He keeps going, believing that this will float like the Dreamboat did.
The most amazing thing is that he is right. Oxygen level: 100%. There is not a hint of a breathing difficulties to be seen. Heartbeat: 67. Couldn’t be more relaxed.
Glückwünsche Pádraig! You made it out of hospital. On the dreamboat!

Such happy news!! Congratulations to you all! 😀
Happy news on a really happy day, Diane! This is you, this is everybody who believes that Pádraig can get through this and have a life that matters to him, to us, and to others! I bet, he’s just starting!
Best news. So happy for all of you. Upwards and onwards now.Patricia and Mary
There’s no other way to go, Patricia and Mary!
Fáilte go dtí an árasán, a Phádraig!
Indeed! Into the Wild. Of life. An Saol.
Tá an Bád seolta agaibh inniu! Go seolfaidh sé go Tír na nÓg sibh agus muidne ar bórd libh. Muid go léir le chéile, ar Bhád na mBrionglóidí! Grá ó chroí daoibh.

Muid go léir le chéile, ar Bhád na mBrionglóidí! So true, Seos!
Alles alles Gute für euch und diesen neuen Abschnitt! Es muss wundervoll für euch sein, endlich die Klink verlassen zu haben. Macht weiter so!
Pádraig zeigt uns den Weg, Christina!
Good luck in your new world!!! Besos y abrazos
A new world it is, Ana!
You’re on a roll, Padraig!!! Here’s to fabulous things to come! X
Can’t wait for tomorrow, and the day after, and the next!
Yes ! Yes ! Yes !
Nous sommes Dreamboat (excuse my French, Marianne:)
Great news. Homecomings are always so special – especially when the traveller has been through difficult times!
I like the idea of the traveller, Veronica!
Wonderful news.
Great news, my best wishes for Pádraig’s continuing recovery.
Many thanks, Tabea. He’ll continue this in his own way, at his on pace. He just needs the company, as we all do.
