An Unreasonable Joy
I have always loved babies. Even as a young girl, you would see me carrying my little cousins around on my hip. So I just assumed that when I got married and decided to have children, it wouldn't be a problem. When my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage at thirteen weeks I was heartbroken.
Since I got pregnant... >Read More

Adopted for a Purpose
I was just three months old when my parents adopted me. Lying in a motel dresser drawer that very first night, I looked up at my new parents with distrust and suspicion, as if to say, ‘You just try to control me!’ My ornery streak was obvious from day one, but incredibly, I was now in a home where... >Read More

Faithful Endurance
Mama and Papa’s pride and joy
When I was in grade 3, my best friend’s Grandma always referred to me as "that nice little Christian girl". I kind of took pride in that.

Grace to Forgive - Strength to Go On
We turned on our TV and heard that a taxi driver had been murdered. I didn’t think it could be anyone who belonged to us or we would have heard. But the news report continued, “Taxi driver, married with one child, wife expecting another baby …” My wife, Bridie, and I looked at each other in cold denial. Then... >Read More

Clodagh O’Connor
I come from a small village in Clare. My family was fairly well off and I appeared to be happy and well-adjusted. At fourteen, my parent’s marriage ended. I was heart-broken. In the area in which I lived, separation was not a frequent occurrence. People did not know how to react. I felt alone and isolated and became very... >Read More
