Aunt Sue sent this poem (author unknown) to Patrick a few months before he died. It looks like one of those memes that gets passed around, but I understand the sentiment.
If I had the chance, I would also have listened more closely to the advice my dads offered. Patrick wasn’t there much for counsel during my formative years, but John had a lot of insight that he tried to impart to me. I was too distracted or disinterested to pay attention. If I had, I would have been much better off in life and in love.
I’m the son of Patrick of Meadows.
This was written by Rowan Jennings born in Belfast living in Canada.

Thanks, Sally. I searched the web and couldn’t find attribution (everything reports “unknown”) so I appreciate your input.
