Looking Out

Having siblings is always great but the real advantages can be seen during a lockdown when you can no longer play with friends. While Déagan, Naoise, Fiadh and Neasa are best buddies they do miss their friends. Not being able to visit their cousins or granny and grandad has been hard, and the cancellation of football, hurling and swimming was tough. But these four will still always have a smile and an hello for everyone they see.

“Your parents leave you too soon and your kids and spouse come along late, but your siblings know you when you are in your most inchoate form.”
― Jeffrey Kluger
