Jack- the boy with odds stacked against him from the start. The boy who fought a losing battle for 2 long years. The boy who taught me so much about life and love. The boy who helped other sick babies. The boy who made me a Mammy. Jack- my boy, my son. Anniversaries are hard.

I run the Salthill/Knocknacarra/Claddagh area of Galway a couple of times a week. Usually run on my own for my mental well being. If there is any woman/women who want to join me for safety in numbers and for our physical well being, please get in touch. #shewasgoingforarun 😪

A pupil of mine who is non-verbal used Irish sign language for the first time today to sign 'hello' to me 😭 All the feels, a huge achievement for him. Still beaming for the little guy. And now we build from this 👊 Just one reason why I love my job so much. #ISL #SEN

#NoWrongPath My son Jack was born when I was 20, he had a rare condition and received palliative care for his 23 months of life. His life may have been short but he taught me so much and made me realise I wanted to work with children.I now work with children with additional needs

Thinking of all bereaved mothers today on #MothersDay 💗 I may not be able to hold my Jack, but he made me a Mammy and for that I am truly grateful. Mother's Day can bring up many feelings when you're bereaved. Be gentle with yourselves today.

@GrantSana 🥺 Had a 2 year gap in my CV, during a very difficult time when my son was born and spent the two years of his life under palliative care, during that time I was his full time caregiver. Having to justify the reasons for the 'gap' in my CV made for very uncomfortable interviews.

The lack of awareness and education from The Happy Pear is just staggering. Spreading cancer misinformation despite being factually debunked by scientists, doctors & cancer charities. Why has it taken some people so long to realise they are two doses who sell food & do handstands

#PaddyMoloney another giant of the traditional music world has left us. One of those musicians who gave a musical instrument a life of it's own 💔 I first met him when he visited my school and I accompanied him on bodhrán for 2 songs at a session. He was truly one of the greats.
