Dublin Airport…overnight

Posted by Glenn

Hello all, as you have probably gathered, we are now at Dublin Airport, having arrived here at eleven-ish, Friday night, waiting for our flight at six, tomorrow morning. Having tried, unsuccessfully, for the last hour and a half, to get a snooze, I thought I’d pop on here, and say hello!

This is a dreary place, at this time of night, although it seems quite busy. We all feel it is a bit surreal, being on the threshold of this adventure…it is hard to imagine we are going to Africa tomorrow! The aches, and pains that accompany a four hour journey, are a very slight warning for me, of what is ahead.

The Motivation

It was a good time to remind  myself, and Geraldine via text-message, just why I am doing this. The Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice, where wee Keren spent her last week with us, is such a worthy organisation to support, that this…separation from family,  not to mention the (most likely) pain, and toil, that lies ahead for me, will all be worth it. It is another reason to talk about and emphasise how much the Hospice means to us, as a family, we will never forget the way they made us feel part of a family, larger than we could imagine.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me get to this point, supporting the Hospice so fantastically! Especially the business sponsors and all the individuals, who combined, have made this a very worthwhile venture, for the Hospice.

(thanks also to Stephen, for running over, just now, with another 50c, to keep this connection going!)

I will sign out now…try to get some shut-eye, and if I get internet access again, I will drop-in again!
