Oh how sad, pets are family RIP Max. Wishing you JayJay and everyone who is in this forum a Healthy, joyful 2022 and may it be filled with much happiness 💚🎸 xx Thank you Pebbles for your kind words but unfortunately for me and my family the sadness continues into this new year.. My 94 year old mother had a fall last week and is in hospital and hopefully recovering? Plus at the weekend a really good Irish musician friend of ours Kieran Whelan so sadly passed away suddenly at young age. Kieran was always there from the beginning at the first Rory Fest in Ballyshannon. From a young teenage Ballyshannon boy he was in bands playing at the festival and was also on the festival committee for sometime. You could always have some great craic with him into the early hours of the morning after the gigs talking mainly about our hero Rory A few years ago he moved to the USA for fame and fortune everything looked to be going grand. He married a beautiful American girl and musically seemed to be doing ok. That's why this news has come as such a shock and so sad for all his family especially in Ballyshannon and his friends there and around the world. He will be sadly missed. Kieran Whelan R.I.P up there now with Rory Here is Kieran singing with his band The Skins for Rory So sorry to hear about your mother JayJay. I hope all will be well and she recovers. I am in the same situation in a way. My 89 year old mom fell in October and fractured her pelvis. She also has dementia, which is getting worst. I take care of her here at home with me on Hospice end of life care. It's 24/7 round the clock and I sleep little. But I'm grateful I can care for her and not in a nurseing home. So sorry about Kieran, as have been said many times. life is unfair.

Hi Capo , I'm very sorry to hear about your mothers health problems. It must be very saddening to see your mother so unhealthy at the end of her life. You have my total sympathies. You're an angel looking after her in her days / hours of need.
I've had a roller coaster of emotions since Christmas. Yesterday we finally laid to rest my brother in law Malcolm after over a months wait. Then later on in the day we fhad some good news at last this year. My Mum was released out of hospital. After being there suffering in great back pain and contracting pneumonia over the the weeks hospitalised she has pulled through thank God.
Anyone who has any relative that is suffering from dementia please try and see the movie "The Father" starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Coleman.
Rock On for Rory Slainte Jay Jay

Hi Jay Jay. So sorry to hear of your brother-in-law's passing and my condolences to your wife and family. I hope your mother recovers from her fall. My condolences for the passing of your daughter and her husband's dog Max. Very sad to hear of Kieran Whelan's passing. He was a very talented young man. My condolences to his wife,family, friends, music colleagues, to you and Rory fans. Subrata. xx Hi Suby thanks firstly for your kind words. Thankfully now my mother is out of hospital and is making a very good recovery from her fall. This year so far though I'm sorry to say brings us more sad and bad news. Two weeks ago Leadbelly aka Max / Jimled told me his 90 year old grandmother sadly passed away. Plus now everyone has heard the terrible main news around the world that has happened in Leadbelly / Max's homeland. That is the Ukraine have been attacked and invaded by the Russian Federation. The last message I gave to him yesterday was of our total support best wishes and prayers for all his family friends and country. As he told me there were many bombings all around his city of Kharkiv near the eastern border to Russia. They were about to go and take shelter from the bombing's underground.
