15 years ago today....

my father passed away. Its hard to believe its been so long, and that I've now had 2/3rds of my life pass without him.

Bha thu foghainteach laidir
Bha thu spioradail tabhachdach ciuh
Dreach an t-samhraidh mr shnuadh ort
Cha robh naimdeas no fuachd 'nad ghnius
flamh a'gahir' aor dp mhalaidh
Pailt bhzaths ahn seazzadh do shul
'S mor a chaoidh thug do bhas
Do'n nhuinntir a dh'fhag thu's ah Duh.

"You were mightly strong
You were spiritual , humorous, serene
Like the summer your countenance
No enmity or coldness in your face
A smile on your forehead
Much warmth in your eye
Much the mourning of your passing
By all you have left in the Dun."

Rest in Peace Dad.
