Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts.

To tell the truth, I don't know whether I wrote this as a poem or a song. It was one of those times when you sit down and you just write until you come to the end.

Although the initial words were inspired by a late night conversation with a special person, the poem/song honestly expresses how I feel about each of the people on the Mudcat who have touched my life in the years I have been here. I see and hear it as a long distance embrace for my friends far away. Each of you is very special and very dear to me.

Le grá is meas is mise Áine
(With love and respect, Áine)
