Bríd Stack: Loving life but hating my worst ever humiliation on the pitch

On Tuesday, Ógie had his third birthday party in the Giants canteen. I had brought in a cake, which we all had after our dinner. The small man had his birthday badge on, which he was wearing as proudly as an All-Ireland medal pinned to his chest. All the girls sang happy birthday and he was just so thrilled with himself.
It was a beautiful, sweet evening. The whole experience, and how special they made Ógie feel, just reinforced the sense of how nice and kind people around the Giants club are, and have been to us as a family since we’ve arrived in Australia. There are times when I can sometimes let slip that train of thought. The times when I become overly frustrated with team performances and team mindset. But that still doesn’t take away from the goodness of so many people in the club.
