Dear Ireland,
You’re not just the land we came from —
you’re the silence in our voice when we remember.
The turf-smoke in dreams,
the sea salt in stories passed down around kitchen tables.
You’ve never left us,
not really.
You wait in old songs,
in soft rains,
in the ache behind every “I’ll be back soon.”

And long after the grief, the building still stands — not in sorrow, but in remembrance.
In Galway, even architecture tells love stories.
