Twice we stood beside each other at the altar, Rosie. Twice. And twice we got it wrong. I needed you to be there for my wedding day but I was too stupid to see that I needed you to be the reason for my wedding day. But we got it all wrong.
Cecelia Ahernat your weakest, you end up showing more strength; at your lowest, you are suddenly lifted higher than youโve ever been. They all border one another, these opposites and show how quickly we can be altered.

Cecelia AhernI love it here in Boston and I love studying medicine. But itโs not home. Dublin is home. Being back with you felt like home. I miss my best friend. Iโve met some great guys here, but I didnโt grow up with any of them playing cops and robbers in my back garden. I donโt feel like they are real friends. I havenโt kicked them in the shins, stayed up all night on Santa watch with them, hung from trees pretending to be monkeys, played hotel, or laughed my heart out as their stomachs were pumped. Itโs kind of hard to beat that.
Cecelia AhernThis house isn't mine anymore, but the memories are; the memories can't be sold. The building that housed my once-upon-a-time dreams stands for someone else now, as it did for the people before us, and I feel happy to let it go. Happy that I can begin again, anew, though bearing the scars of before. They represent wounds that have healed.
