Happy Birthday Trevor
You were so hard working and fun loving and a wonderful father and uncle. I remember sharing a few adventures with you. That visit in Ballyshannon where you and I sped down the country roads in that little MG, me holding on for dear life, waiting for a lorry to meet us around the next bend, you laughing in delight having scared the bejeasus out of your young neice . You telling me of the time you woke up stranded in the tide with the car on the beach in Donegal, having had a wild time racing the horses and cars. Our trip across the water to England with Micky, the ex jockey. You were always working, scheming and enjoying life. Life for us isn't the same without you But sure, we know you look over us and appear in the cheekiness and smiles and laughter of your beautiful children. Forever in our hearts Trevor. Like you used to say in your mock American with your gorgeous Irish lilt "Party on Dudes"! Heaven is celebrating you today! ❤️
Like no other.
There was something about him.... I can't even find the words for it. But something about him which made everything just seem alright. He had an unique energy that made every situation, any situation, seem as though it was just as it should be, and it was Good, just as it is. Trevor's one of the few people about whom I thought, "If I could be more like that guy, I'd be a better person, and the world would be a better place." Not for me, but for others. That's what Trevor did - he never struck me as someone who made looking out for #1 his priority.... instead he was all about making it a priority for things to be good for those around him.
Just like it is
Trevor jumping
For Lenora's fourth birthday (over two years ago), we had a small gathering of adults and children at a trampoline land. Trevor leaping into the air, as if he could not wait to shake off gravity. A huge smile on his face and the boys (and Savet) in awe. I think we all threw our backs out but it was so fun.
I love this laugh
Trevor used to push the kids in their little three wheelers down the hill by Precita park, and it made me so nervous. What if they hit the fence!? But he knew what he was doing - he'd done it a hundred times! He was an exceptionally engaged father. The kids loved it! And I love this video, because it captures his joy, love of life and family, his big grin and youth. Love and miss you always.
