The first year without Kevin
One big difference is that I no longer feel strong. I used to think of my body as sturdy, trustworthy, capable of rising above the niggling health issues most people my age face. But since my husband died, that has changed. I get breathless for no reason. I tire easily. I tremble a lot, I ache. Occasionally, I have a panic attack.

Pitches were a playground in our youth, and in our more mature years, they still represent a leap from the reality of life. Perhaps that is why I love them so much. That reality hit home this week when Martin passed away, his death sending shockwaves throughout the sporting community in Galway and his wide circle of family and friends.
