The Warm Embrace

The death of a young adult is something that we struggle to come to terms with. Sudden Adult Death syndrome remains a mystery to us and how a young adult in the prime of their life can suddenly fall victim to what often is an unfair and incomprehensible illness is something we struggle with. Over the past number of years I have unfortunately known many young adults who have passed away before their time.

In January 2009 I received a phone call informing me of the death of one of the young adults, Kevin Byrne, who attend the Knockadoon Music and Liturgy course who had passed away unexpectedly. Less than 2 weeks later I received another call telling me of the death of a friend Ciarán Ó Con Cheanainn. Needless to say these two deaths hit me hard, and while I struggled to come to terms with the death of two young adults in the prime of their lives a song of hope was born.

It is my hope that this piece of music will bring comfort to all those who have lost a young adult in their lives.
