Lying asleep walking
Last night I met my father
Who seemed pleased to see me.
He wanted to speak. I saw
His mouth saying something
But the dream had no sound…

Dheigheadh sinn a dh’iasgach,
mi fhèin is m’ athair,
is lìonadh sinn an eathar le
peilichean de rionnach, liutha,
is dheigheadh sinn timcheall a’ bhaile
gu gach nàbaidh gus am biodh na peilichean falamh…

Happy Father’s Day
A Salute to All the Fathers This Father's Day There's a particular kind of love that doesn't always announce itself. It shows up in the early morning car rides to practice, the patient hand steadying a wobbly bike, the quiet sacrifices made so a family could have a little more. It's the love of a father steady, often unspoken, and felt in a thousand small moments that add up to a lifetime. This Father's Day, we want to pause and say thank you. Thank you to the dads who show up, day after […]
