What do you think when you think about Friday?
The Late Late Show? Not really. But then, Kodaline are on…. And the very first guest, a celebrity chef, says he’s in Ireland because he met his wife in the Conradh…
I’m watching this, trying not to fall asleep, trying to write, trying to remember what happened today.
The day started like no other day so far: I could see the sun rising over the horizon, there was a blue sky, and snow on the terrace glittering, reflecting the light. I had to go back to the Schön-Klinik to pick up some papers. I met some doctors: a young one who immediately asked how Pádraig was doing; a more senior one who was focussed on the paperwork; and some of his great therapists. It was a strange visit. This is where Pádraig staid for more than a year. Unbelievable.
In the afternoon, Maria arrived. Usually, he relaxes around lunch time. Today, he didn’t close an eye, trying to stay awake, not to miss the moment of her arrival. It was great for us all to see Maria again.
And now: we’ll rest trying to gather some strength for the days to come. Good night. Sleep sound and well.
And now: I think I’m dreaming or asleep. Jesus Christ Superstar with GoGo-Girls dressed in tiny red “dresses”. On the Late Late.


I am reading your blog on Saturday, we woke up late and are soooo lazy!!! It is cold outside for Madrid´s consideration around 4º C and we sit here with the cat and read the papers we have no time to read during the week… and I comment with my family Padráigs progress and all what you read even though they read also sometimes your blog by themselves. You are now part of our life. Besos y abrazos from all of us to all of you!!
The way it really should have been all along – we should have been part of each other’s life all along but never had the time, or never took the time because there are so many “important” things in life that have to be done… I am learning now, and Pádraig is teaching me, that it’s people who are important, our family and our friends. And if there is time after that for all those other important things, well then… 🙂
