Owen and Martin Kilbane - from Kathy & Paul Harvey

You can really tell the seasons are changing as it is still dark on our way up to Grafton to see Owen this morning, the upside is that I don't leave my sunglasses sitting on my head.  It is hard for us to believe that we have only been going to visit O for less than 6 months, but Saturday morning trips up to Grafton feel like second nature to us now, and Paul and I look forward to those special Saturdays that end in an odd number.  We can only hope that we bring as much joy and laughter to Owen's life as he brings to ours.  We know that in Owen we have found a friend for life!

As many of you know, Owen has been suffering with some health problems of late, and he has a hernia that is causing him a huge amount of discomfort.  The good news is that he should be having surgery within the next week to have the hernia fixed, and I would ask that you all send positive and healing thoughts his way!

On the visit today we spent a good deal of time talking about karma, or paying it forward and how important it is to try and touch the world in a positive way.  And then on our way out of Grafton, I saw my husband do exactly what we talked about, he stopped to lift a wee woman who was in  wheelchair into her mini-van.  So to Owen...you do have a legacy and it thrives in each and everyone of us who loves you and who you love back! xoxo Kathy & Paul
