A YANK SURVIVES SOUTHWEST IRELAND ON HIS OWN
Good day all from Eyeries, County Cork, Ireland. It's been a long, long time since I wrote a post. But trying to post in www.survivingireland.blogspot.com, I find that I can no longer get into my dashboard to do it. So I'm starting a new Blogspot, which is rather appropriate. Since last time I wrote to you all, too much has happened. The last time I wrote, it contained a photo of my father, Bill Richards, who was a Captain for United Airlines and passed on in September 2021.
Then my darling long-term partner Carmel Murray was taken away by Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease. She now lives in a Nursing Home in Trim, County Cork. Someday, she will come home to our home in this wonderful seaside village, but that's still months away.
And to be honest, I've not been feeling too well. I had a heart-attack, Covid two times, Became depressed and stopped writing most everything. Great friends of mine have passed on way too early as they were mostly young. Richard Daly, James, Liam O'Neill...these are just
some of the names of the great men who have flown away from my life too.
This is a short post to get started but I wanted to write to you again. As usual, if you have any questions about Ireland, please let me know.
Take care, all of you. And write me if you want to at tomrichards141@gmail.com, my new email address. During this horrid period, even my laptop and phone were hacked with is why my old Blogspot no longer works.
As the weeks pass by, I'll write more posts. I'll also finish the look and layout of this site.
So with so many thanks, be well and let's all pray that all of our lives get back to normal, whatever that is.
On behalf of both of us: Tom and Carmel who left the house on 1 December 2021 and who I have trouble living without.
