Fáilte isteach! In this week’s Comhrá, we step into the warm, ordinary world of preparing a room for someone we love. Mamó is coming to stay — and with her, a chance to talk about care and recovery.

Theme: Aire agus Téarnamh

Care & Recovery

Whether it’s a sore back, a winter illness, or simply the tiredness of life — this week we honour the slow, caring moments that help us get better. Sometimes care is a clean bedsheet. Sometimes it’s a daffodil in a vase.

📄 What’s this conversation about?

Mamó had a hip operation. Now she’s coming home to stay for a week. Daidí and Séamus are getting the guest room ready. There’s Lego on the floor, damp sheets on the line, withered flowers in the vase. But in all of this, there’s care, humour, and attention.

You might recognise this in your own life: someone recovering, a small act of kindness, or even being cared for yourself.
