I am sharing a personal statement that my family and I have made in response to my brother’s announcement.

Friday cleared up nicely at Killarney Races. Fingers crossed for Ladies Day today in Kerry, Ireland; I hate it when it rains on a day so many dress to the 9's! 👒 👠💃 🎩 KillarneyRaces

Last day of swimming lessons at Parknasilla for the Kenze. Was kinda hoping for a sunnier day! But the delicious soup made up for the rain #todayinireland Parknasilla Resort

Cyclists with no lights or reflectors. Cars with no lights. Very dark day. Buses going 50 UNDER the speed limit. Car stopped IN THE ROAD heading the wrong way 2get a parking spot near O'Carroll's Cove THIS was the Ring of Kerry today, on our Skellig Coast

Cahersiveen Races 🏇 This field was donated ~200 years ago to the town by Daniel O'Connell, with the stipulation that the field horseracing meeting continued Irish culture in action #tiicahersiveen #SusanBaughman #discoverkerry #neverleavekerry

Amazing. All those times I visited my dad at Arlington Cemetery, I never once was tempted to smile and give a thumbs up signal. 👍 Trump is such a loser. #voteblue #expatsforharris

For the record, I got a phone call from a friend who always says "we met in the womb!" His mom was pregnant with him when my mom was with us. 1960!

Today is the anniversary of Jack de Bromhead's death. A day none of us on Rossbeigh beach that day will ever forget. A young man the world will never forget. RIP Jack.
