Life Story

Belfast

1960's

When I was at the important juncture in my life where things were sort of falling down around me, I was fortunate to meet at the Cambridge University Counselling Service, a wonderful lady called Dr. Ruth Young who helped me greatly. Fr. Cecil McGarry SJ also helped me which I came back to Dublin. However, getting a job in Down and Connor Catholic Family Welfare was the clincher. It was there that I met and fell in love with the right man, Muredach, though it took us both a little time to recognise it. Together we have spent nearly the past forty years on an adventure that has taken us round the world a couple of times before bringing us back to Ireland, where the adventure still goes on.
