Every single candidate that President Barack Obama campaigned for won including Jon Ossoff and Abdul El-Sayed. He was like a good luck charm for them. He will always be my favorite President.

Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….

Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...

Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.

To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.

When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.

Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.

….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.

May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.

Bono

So brilliant- RIP #GlenHansard

Ha mort Glen Hansard. La seva interpretació de "A fairytale of New York" al funeral de Shane McGowan a Nenagh acompanyant a The Pogues és un dels moments musicals més emotius que recordo. Pell de gallina. Gràcies per tant, Glen. #DEP #GlenHansard

[Nancy Sinatra @NancySinatra]

My beloved mother was a gem, an icon. She was my best friend and my biggest supporter. She gave me life, and she was the light of mine. She was a blessing to me and to anyone who knew her.

She went to heaven eight years ago today. I was fortunate to have her in my life for 78 years, yet nothing could have prepared me for the depth of grief her passing would bring. I still haven’t gotten over losing her, and I don’t think I ever will.

I know we’re only just passing through, and I believe death is not the end. Energy never dies, but letting go is so hard.

I’ll love you always and miss you forever, Mama. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. Until we meet again.

If you’re fortunate enough to still have your mother, hold her close. Tell her you love her. Cherish every moment you have together, because one day she will be gone and those moments will become priceless memories.
