Mam and Debbie at Port Farm

Annie,

This photograph brings up many good memories of one of my many trips to Cavan, when we were over on holidays to Donegal. It captures a time and place perfectly and you are looking so happy as we walked up and down the fields and sitting by the lake, taking in the beutiful scenery and peace around us .

Afterwards, we would always call on Aggie for a cup of tea. It was lovely to hear both of you reminiscing about past/present times.

This day, 38 years ago, you were in Warrington, when Ciaran was born, having spent some time with me before his arrival. I remember sitting on an evening…knitting…or at least me trying to knit with your patience/guidance and help.

I have lots of memories of trips to Donegal. You always made me feel welcome from the first time.

Recently, we had a trip to Enniskillen – me, Seán, Ciarán, Leah, Liam, Megan, Shauna and our little grandson Rowe. We all walked on the fields of Port again, toured around the places which were local to where you grew up and went to mass in your church, remembering you for your 100th Birthday Anniversary.

We all enjoyed and valued our holiday and hopefully will be able to share these fond memories made as a family in years to come.

Debbie XXXX
