Oh Una, this is heartbreakingly beautiful. My dad was an Irish ‘Martin’ too, and also died so quickly and unexpectedly although in his seventies. I feel every word of this. The language, the setting, the nature of grief and how it bubbles up still. How extraordinary to have your grief unfold in parallel to 9/11. There is a whole book in that. Much love ❤️
