Unbelievable to think that Pádraig's parents had to set up 'Teach An Saol' to fill that void for ABI. A real eye-opener to hear his old podcast material too. Listen to Pádraig's Story. ⬇️ #LastOneOnTheTrain
Every Sunday I read a blogpost ‘hospi-tales’ by Reinhard Schaler. It’s about life with his son Padraig. As a parent to a person with a disability it resonates & is often uplifting. #LastOneOnTheTrain tonight tells Padraig's story hospi-tales.com/2024/04/14/las… via Reinhard Schaler
