Like the pictures, his friends have shown me the stories.

I'm like, I can't believe that was him.

That's not the man I knew, you know.

So then he, you know, was in addiction.

He got into recovery.

And after that, that's when I met him.

He moved to Limerick.

As many people do.

Many people do that.

People, places and things.

Yeah, and his family in Limerick, you know, the aunts, the uncles, they're weirdly close.

Beautifully, beautifully close.

And then we kind of ended up in the same group of friends in the gym and 13 years ago, maybe.

Yeah.

So we're in the same friend group.

I was at a, you know, cross path, you know, myself around that time.

I massively struggled.

I became, you know, depressed after parenting by myself and up and down, you know, in a life I had found hard.

for a couple of years and I actually went to counselling and I was like, I'm going to start going to personal development groups and different things like that, you know.

And I found myself at that stage maybe when Lily was around two, you know.
