Seamus,
You always seemed to know what I was thinking and how I felt. You were there for me in the good times and the bad. Your mere presence and the glint in your brown eyes always made things better. You were an important part of my life and shared in all of the major changes that came my way. You welcomed my wife Dawn and in time our two boys Mícheál and Ciarán. You became their friend and protector when I could not be home. Your gentleness with all that met you endeared you to them.
Our 11 years together passed in the blink of an eye. It seems that we spent every waking moment together. Looking back now, it was not nearly enough time. Your youthful exuberance of chasing butterflies gave way to a dignified maturity until the cruel hand of time stole you away from me. No matter how you felt, you never hesitated to jump up when I wanted to go for a walk. And how we walked. No matter where we lived we certainly made some paths old friend.
As I sit here looking at your pictures, the memories come flooding back. Your habit of collecting rocks and bringing them home, the weight of your head against my arm to get my attention, the way it tilted as you listened intently to what I was saying. I shall miss all these things and you my dear friend. I know that someday we will be together again.
Sorely missed and forever remembered by Jack, Dawn, Mícheál & Ciarán
