Day by day and night by night we were together - all else has long been forgotten by me.
I think I missed out on so many good experiences - maybe priceless experiences - playing with my friends when I was growing up.
In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time.
Not the least hard thing to bear when they go from us, these quiet friends, is that they carry away with them so many years of our own lives.
I have already spent roughly five thousand hours asleep next to you. This has to mean something.
I must say that though other days may not be so bright, as we look toward the future, that the brightest days will continue to be those we spent with you here in Ireland.
