The Claddagh Ring
I Was Inspired to write These Words By Seeing Michael Portillo Tell The Story of The Claddagh Ring
I saw Michael Portillo on a railway journey in Ireland finding out about the Claddagh and getting involved in making a Claddagh ring. I have always loved the design of them and it made be think of someone very close to me and she and the ring have come together to inspire these words.

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.
