What a beautifully written piece. I would love to have met the little fella. I’m sure he would have stolen my heart. May you have peace and closure from your terrible loss. I’m very moved by the story of Wee Kevin.
Kevin could only inspire because he was a chip of the two auld blocks.
Jarleth, Mairead, and family, ordinary heroes, doing extraordinary things.
Loved the article Mairead, there’s a writer there lost in you.

Thanks Chuck, Maireid and your lovely family for you generosity in sharing Kevin’s story and his smile with us. For many I am sure, it will offer inspiration and possibly comfort and to most of us a gentle reality check.
Lovely piece Mairead, full of joy and love
So very sad reading this Mairead & Chuck, remembering our meeting in 2004 & what a beautiful kind and supportive family you were to us when it was so badly needed and you still managed the strength to share it with us even though you probably should have been selfish and saved it for your own family. RIP beautiful Kevin will never forget that beautiful smile. Thinking of you & will call soon.
