where have i been, and why am i back now ... as always - returning home when there is trouble or difficulties, i suppose
a difficult week of sad news. Padrg never turned up for work on sunday and i think pj was preparing himself for the worst before he knew ... but unfortunately the rest of the world must go on and paper is still expected to go out. the lads somehow worked throw the final few hours simply numb, before trying to deal with news of Pdrg death. and tomorrow we say final goodbyes
as they do to poor old mark, just 21. only last week i found some photos and diary entries about the summer of 99 and 00 down in ardmore when myself, tony and mark made up one of the greatest trios. despite loosing touch with them, those summers behind the bar will always be special. to hear mark had taken his own life was some shock. he could have been magic, he had some special qualities for a guy brought up in the village - he could have owned it. now i feel a pinch of guilt for loosing touch, when we had been such good mates once ... and today i talked to tony for the first time in, what must be 2 years. the whole village will be rocked. but my god you have to get out of there, you have to, as bill did ... and tony's trying to. in some ways its a different world isolated in the village. and poor mark must have felt isolated,
so tomorrow they say goodbye when nobody is ready to.
poor mark, poor padrg
