Slán

September is over. It's Thursday.

We got a photo ready to send with you, and a cross, and medal from Rome. I wrote this on the back of the photo:

*

We named you Daire, for a girl or a boy.
It means fruitful,
like the raspberry bushes outside our house
that we picked fruit from this morning,
the first day of October.

It's also a divine name.
And you are divine;
have given our lives beautiful meaning.

Thank you for being part of what we are.

Love,
Mam Dad Éabha Caomhán Aifric
