					<description><![CDATA[Today, October 9th, is my father’s 35th anniversary. I could tell you what a lovely dad he was, but it is better to, ‘Show, don’t tell.’ So, here he is. Let me set the scene. 1980’s Dublin. I was a rather boyish, seven- or eight-year-old girl, the fourth in a family of five. My cousin, &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://mythoughtsonapage.com/2022/10/09/gone-but-never-forgotten-2/">More <span class="screen-reader-text">Gone but never&#160;forgotten.</span></a>]]></description>

A scuffed, well worn, pair of runners, coated in the dirt of yesterday&#8217;s hill walk with the backs broken, just as my mother warned me they would, when as a child, she caught me pushing my foot into my shoes without opening the laces. &#8230; <a class="more-link" href="https://mythoughtsonapage.com/2021/12/31/and-then-dad-stepped-in/">More <span class="screen-reader-text">And then Dad stepped&#160;in&#8230;</span></a>]]></description>
