Ei, ma ei tulnud Dublinisse kalkuneid kitkuma. Tegelikult ei olnud mul uldse plaanis just Iirimaale tulla. Tahtsin lihtsalt ara. Ara sombusest Eestist, lahenevast talvekulmast ja loputust koolistressist. Esimene suvi Dublinis toi mu teele rasked valikud. Elu, mis nais stabiilne ja enesestmoistetav, tegi jarsku traagilise poorde. Uleoo leidsin end taas ihuuksi vooras riigis, vooraste inimeste keskel, ja mulle sel hetkel koige olulisemad inimesed olid mu korvalt jaadavalt kadunud. Nii ei jaanudki muud voimalust, kui hakata voitlema selle nimel, mis veel oluline – iseenda elu, Eestisse jaanud pere ja tuleviku nimel, mis malestuste toel enam nii troostitu ei tundunudki. Olen joudnud Dublinis kaheksa aasta jooksul tosin korda kolida, vahetada mitu tookohta, olla politseis kahtlusalune ja pidada advokaadiga nou, kuidas oleks koige parem endisele ulemusele katte maksta. Ja algul oli mul kavas tulla siia ainult aastaks! Dublinis on midagi sellist, mis mind ara ei lase.
