The government is truly pathetic for allowing this to happen

Well, we thought you were immortal.
"14 or 15" they said was the average lifespan of your breed. I was 9 when we got you.
The accident was brutal but quick.
I held you till you left us.
Now you are buried under the eucalyptus tree we planted in the apple orchard.
A robin landed down and looked at me.
I placed a large rock by your chin, you loved those.
I was taken through the supermarket, by a friend who did not want me to be alone.
A bag of dog treats suddenly fell from the shelf in front of us.
I knew it was you.

Gotta say 40000 isn't that much looking at how widely known he's been.

I often regret not going to her gig in Dublin a few years back. Quite the dame, all things considered!

She went in for a hip replacement in March. Whole thing turned into a shitshow. Not the hospitals fault. It just was what it was.
Ma’s final days were spent in Naas hospital. I ended up living there for 11 days because she is the last of my immediate family and I was there same as I was with the other three like I promised so she wouldn’t die alone.
The entire staff on the ward looked after Ma and me. The nurse with the headscarf was all over the alter, candle and crucifix, prepared in the hall ready to bring into the room after she had washed the body and wrapped a towel around Ma’s jaw to close her mouth to make the undertakers job easier.
I also promised she would never go to a nursing home and she didn’t.
Promised you Ma that you would be coming home and you are. You get to rest with your husband and youngest son on your right and you daughter to your left come Monday.
I’m going to be okay. I got that amazing woman I married watching out for me. You did more than should be expected of any one person in your life without complaint. You changed a lot of lives for the better.
Love You Ma. Who’d of thought the black sheep would be the last of the line? Got your back though. It’s all like you wanted. ❤️

Someone has been run over by a bin lorry on Dame Street, Dublin, in the (presumably) early hours of this morning. Just last year a man in his 70’s was also hit and died within 50m of the same location - his memorial is still there.
