Trish

July 28th, 2014

The picture above is of Trish as a girl I colourised it.

It has been a rough month and a big one near life altering my world has changed in many big ways. Some bad some good my mother says everything happens for a reason I think i agree. I lost my job. not the end of the world I will admit I wasn’t the best fit for the role and it didn’t fit me right either though i did learn a lot form it.

It was a while after losing the job Trish got sick

Trish (Patricia Byrne) was for the years I knew her (The guts of the last four) was a kind and intelligent woman who happened to have MS. She was wheelchair bound but was usually in good spirits and a genuine and calming presence in my life with Fergus. When I proposed to him I knew I was marrying into this small family with him and his mother and I was happy to do that and to take care of her with him. I would say share the load but she never was a burden to Fergus or me.

Its strange how all my plans included her in some way. I seriously planned to have a team of rugby players at the wedding to escort her around just for the fun of it. she would have probably loved that she certainly laughed at the idea.

Trish got Pneumonia in both lungs and passed in the presence of her family myself included in hospital a little over 2 weeks ago. Fergus is heartbroken and I am not far behind him really.

In the wake of her passing I have officially moved in with Fergus down here in newbridge. all my stuff has moved down I was practically living here anyway and we had planned moving me in this week anyway. The life we have now is different then what I had imagined. There is a hole where she should be. and even the dogs seem to feel it.

I am glad I can be here to support Fergus. and help him build a new life. I would have liked to move in under happier circumstances. Now I have to find a new job. Hopefully with a more creative edge to it.
