Story Transcript:Ga: Bhí an ghaoth ag búiríl ar maidin sin, agus seas siad, Aisling agus Cillian, in aice na nAillte Mhóire.En: The wind was roaring that morning, and they stood there, Aisling and Cillian, beside the Cliffs of Moher.Ga: Ba lá speisialta é, cé go raibh an aimsir go holc.En: It was a special day, even though the weather was terrible.Ga: Lá Fhéile Vailintín a bhí ann, ach bhí siad anseo le haghaidh rud eile seachas grá.En: It was Valentine's Day, but they were there for something other than love.Ga: Bhí na haillte ag ardú os a gcomhair mar fhathach ciúin, agus bhí an fharraige thíos ag bualadh in aghaidh na gcloch le torann ollmhór.En: The cliffs rose before them like silent giants, and the sea below was crashing against the rocks with an enormous noise.Ga: Bhí sé fuar, agus ní raibh aon duine eile le feiceáil ar an mbealach carraig.En: It was cold, and no one else was visible on the rocky path.Ga: "Caithfimid é a dhéanamh," arsa Aisling, a aghaidh trom le brón agus diongbháilteacht.En: "We have to do it," said Aisling, her face heavy with sadness and determination.Ga: A seanmháthair, a bhí mar chara is fearr aici, bhí sí anois imithe.En: Her grandmother, who had been her best friend, was now gone.Ga: Bhí na luaithreach aici i gcoimeádán beag, agus bhí sí réidh í a scaoileadh mar a lorgaigh a seanmháthair.En: She had the ashes in a small container, and she was ready to release them as her grandmother had wished.Ga: Bhí Cillian réidh lena lámh ar ghualainn a dheirfiúr.En: Cillian was ready with his hand on his sister’s shoulder.Ga: "Tá an ghaoth láidir, Aisling.En: "The wind is strong, Aisling.Ga: Tá sé contúirteach.En: It's dangerous.Ga: Ach, tuigim tú.En: But, I understand you."Ga: "Bhí Aisling ag breathnú amach ar an bhfarraige, agus smaointe ag rith tríd a hintinn cosúil le ceo.En: Aisling was looking out at the sea, thoughts running through her mind like a mist.Ga: "Ní féidir linn teitheadh," a d'fhreagair sí.En: "We can't flee," she replied.Ga: "Níl anseo ach áit ceart.En: "This is the only right place.Ga: É seo a dhéanamh, ní bheidh sí i gcónaí i gcéin.En: Doing this, she won't always be far away."Ga: "Lean siad ar aghaidh go cúramach ar an cosán garbh, ag cloí lena chéile chun tacaíocht a thabhairt.En: They proceeded carefully along the rough path, clinging to each other for support.Ga: Bhí an chaoi is fearr acu ar aigne.En: They had a clear purpose in mind.Ga: Na haillte os a gcomhair, an fharraige thíos, agus an t-aer lán de shalann folaíochta bhuail siad go géar.En: The cliffs before them, the sea below, and the air full of salty spray hit them sharply.Ga: Bhí gach céim i dtreo a sprioc lán le háifeise.En: Every step towards their goal was filled with meaning.Ga: Nuair a tháinig siad chuig an áit inar thug a seanmháthair le himeachtaí is mó, bhraith siad an domhan bogadh.En: When they reached the place where her grandmother had shared her greatest moments, they felt the world shift.Ga: Léim gáir ghála anuas orthu, ag iarraidh an coimeádán a shéideadh as lámha Aisling.En: A gust of wind roared down on them, threatening to blow the container from Aisling's hands.Ga: Sciob sí a anál agus sheas go daingean.En: She caught her breath and stood firm.Ga: Choinnigh Cillian a lámh ar ghualainn Aisling.En: Cillian kept his hand on Aisling's shoulder.Ga: "Fan socair," ar sé, "tá sé in am anois.En: "Stay calm," he said, "it's time now."Ga: "Le roinnt focail i bhfianaise na n-aillte, d'oscail Aisling an coimeádán agus lig do na luaithreach dul saor.En: With a few words in the presence of the cliffs, Aisling opened the container and let the ashes go free.Ga: Chuir an ghaoth greim orthu ar dtús, agus ansin, mar a bhris a cumha ar fud an domhain, ghlac siad léim geal uisce agus sorcóir gaoithe.En: The wind seized them first, and then, as her sorrow broke across the world, they took a bright leap into the water and a swirl of wind.Ga: Chonaic siad mar a thonn anáil na gaoithe iad, ag imeacht san éter, ag meascadh leis na scamaill, agus ag damhsa le tonnta.En: They watched as the breath of the wind carried them away, mingling with the clouds, and dancing with the waves.Ga: Bhraith Aisling meáchain a croí ardú agus, leis, an rud nach bhféadfadh sí a scaoileadh roimhe seo.En: Aisling felt the weight of her heart lift, along with what she hadn't been able to release before.Ga: "Tá sí againn anois, Cillian," ar sí ag casadh ar a dheartháir, agus d’aontaigh sé leis, é ábalta teacht leis an eolas nua seo, “Tá sé ceart aici anseo i gcónaí.En: "She's with us now, Cillian," she said, turning to her brother, and he agreed, able to come to terms with this new understanding, "She’s here with us always."Ga: ”Ag an am sin, ag seasamh ar imeall na n-aillte, in ainneoin na gaoithe gatha agus an radharc mórthimpeall orthu, fuair Aisling ní amháin scaoileadh, ach nasc nua leis an saol agus lena deartháir.En: At that moment, standing on the edge of the cliffs, despite the biting wind and the vast view around them, Aisling found not only release, but a new connection with life and with her brother.Ga: Le chéile, d’fhág siad na haillte taobh thiar díobh, ag filleadh abhaile, lán de dhóchas agus le cuimhní nár imigh riamh.En: Together, they left the cliffs behind, returning home, full of hope and memories that would never fade.
