CONVENTIONS:: MAY 21TH, 2025
Hello all, it has been some time, and I miss all of you!!!!! Life can be life. “Cause we find ourselves in the same olde’ place” (Flogging Molly) Call, text, email, IG, Tiktok, FB, Snap, or say hello people!
This convention time reminded me why I ever committed to all “public social”. And here is what I really have to say, “blah, blah, blah.” EVERYONE is working soooooooo hard for the same as before. I have so many questions.
Why does it have to be so hard? What does that even mean?
Why are we always trying to be so serious?? Why do we take ourselves so seriously? What are we trying to prove?
Who even needs to hear this? No one? Everyone?
Why do we miss so many sunsets and sunrises? Or breakfast?
Let me not digress, but also yes. Yes I mean it. Shouldn’t we?
All we even want to do is make life better for each person we love.
It’s hard enough to do adult “stuff”. It’s hard enough to make it through the week. But we have to be fearless in our own ways. Fearless and DO the work.
“And just like that” (Sex in the City), another door closes on the conventions today.
Okay. Now we have to talk about this amazing band that I haven’t met yet, but really must! Flogging Molly.
If I’m lucky enough to make it to Ireland, here is the most recent update about the band::
“Hi everyone, I’ve wanted to reach out for some time, but it was necessary to wait until we were safely out of the woods first.
On January 24th, Dave suffered a brain hemorrhage and underwent two subsequent surgeries to save his life. He then spent two weeks in a coma, followed by varying stages of treatment and recovery. On February 28th he underwent yet another surgery and I now feel confident we are on the other side of this.
He is now entering into the next phase of his recovery and wants nothing more than to play music again. The road ahead is uncertain but we, as ever, will roll with the punches and hope to see you all in the near future.
I’d like to thank Dave’s neurosurgeon, Mr. Kieron Sweeney and his amazing team at Beaumont Hospital in Dublin. Thank you. Thank you for saving my husband’s life.
To all of the nurses and staff in both St. Brigid’s and Richmond Wards, thank you. Your extraordinary level of care was also integral to him being where he is today.
To friends and family whose support was unwavering throughout this ordeal, a heartfelt thank you.
And a special thanks to everyone who sent well wishes and messages of support.
Please look after each other and tell your people you love them. Life can change in an instant.
Until we meet again,
Bridget“
I’m grateful and proud of all of you, ALL of you. And as Bridget wrote so well, “Until we meet again.”
