-- by two old friends
In Friday's Irish Times (13 November), an essay entitled: Life melts our fear of old age and recasts it as a sweet reward, by Michael Harding appeared. The essay remembers John and his love of life.
An article by Michael D. Higgins, entitled: A Friendship and a blessing, followed in Saturday's edition (14 November) of the same publication, in which the author reflects on his friendship with John and comments on John's recently re-released book of poetry, Echoes of Memory.

Miss him every day.

Perhaps the longing
IS the love,
perhaps the gap is
smaller than we think.
Blessings flow and he's
still here. Closer than
our breath. And as dear.
