A Story of Someone- 6/14

I'm only in Ireland for two Sundays. And I'm only with Gene for one of them. So I knew my Story of Someone would likely feature him. While I had hoped for it to be in the pub, I almost like this better because it's so very Gene. Reading the paper in his messy kitchen, looking comfortable and at ease. There have been so many times that I've sat at this table and had a memorable conversation with Gene or Percy. And while there's chaos surrounding Gene, there's a serenity in this moment that's hard to explain.

But for those of you who know me, you know that I'm happy and content here in a way that I don't find anywhere else. I feel at home here. And so incredibly grateful that my life intersected with Gene's. Because he's enriched it in a way I never thought possible.

So I love this photo showing Gene in his element with his white "truck" and back yard and the sun shining. I hope it gives you a small peek into who Gene is. 

Check back for Cyrena and Sarah's photos (coming soon).
