cloud hung over the sky above Páirc Foraoise Ghleann Aireamh.Ga: Na crainn, áfach, bhí siad lán le dathanna geala an fhómhair.En: The trees, however, were full of the bright colors of autumn.Ga: Bhraith Aisling i gcónaí go raibh si mar chuid d’áilleacht na háite sin.En: Aisling always felt like she was part of the beauty of that place.Ga: Bhí deireadh seachtaine an fhear gheimhridh tagtha, agus bhí an teaghlach ar fad ag teacht le chéile sa pháirc áille seo.En: The weekend of the winter man had arrived, and the whole family was gathering together in this beautiful park.Ga: Cé go raibh siad gar dá chéile uair amháin, bhí an teannas idir Aisling agus a deartháir Cillian tar éis fás thar na blianta.En: Although they were once close, the tension between Aisling and her brother Cillian had grown over the years.Ga: Ghlaoigh a máthair uirthi an mhaidin sin: "Beidh sé ipnor, a Aisling.En: Her mother called her that morning: "It will be wonderful, Aisling.Ga: Táimid ag tnúth le do theacht.En: We are looking forward to your coming."Ga: "Bhí sí ag súil leis an athaontú ach freisin bhí sí eaglach.En: She looked forward to the reunion, but she was also apprehensive.Ga: Ach tháinig slánú na teannas sa nádúr uirthi.En: Yet, the nature's resolve overcame her tension.Ga: Siúl ar na cosáin, lámha caite i bpócaí, ag smaoineamh agus ag canadh leis an sméara agus an cuisleach.En: Walking on the paths, hands in pockets, she thought and sang with the blackbird and the thrush.Ga: Rug sí ar an láthair, bhí na buachaillí agus na cailíní ag imirt, bhí an boladh beannaithe Domhnach na buíochais ag líonadh an aeir.En: When she arrived at the location, boys and girls were playing, and the blessed smell of Thanksgiving was filling the air.Ga: Bhí Cillian ann freisin.En: Cillian was

Cillian, who was looking back at her walk.Ga: Tháinig an tarrthála dhan scáth dubh orthu.En: A shadow of salvation came over them.Ga: "Cillian," thoisigh sí, aithris a chroí, "Inseoidh mé leat.En:

Caithfidh muid bheith oscailte.En: We must be open."Ga: "Bhí Cillian ciúin ar dtús.En: Cillian was quiet at first.Ga: Ach ansin, tháinig suaimhneas chun cainte.En: But then, peace brought him to speech.Ga: D'oscail sé a chroí, mar dhroichead trasna abhainn teannais.En: He opened his heart, like a bridge across a river of tension.Ga: D’inis sé scéalta óna óige, díomas agus míthuiscintí a bhí beirt orthu.En: He told tales from their childhood, of pride and misunderstandings held by them both.Ga: Faoi dheireadh an tráthnóna, agus an oíche ag feiceáil a cheann thar na sléibhte, bhí scéal an teaghlaigh faoi sheachaint na grá i bhfad níos soiléire dóibh beirt.En: By the end of the afternoon, as the night began to show its head over the mountains, the story of the family about the avoidance of love was much clearer to them both.Ga: B’fhéidir nach raibh aon rud cliste le haisiompú, ach bhí rún an bhanna a bhí i gcroílár an teaghlaigh fós ann, níos láidre mar thoradh ar an gcainte agus an comhoibriú.En: Perhaps nothing clever was reversed, but the bond that was at the heart of the family was still there, stronger as a result of the conversation and cooperation.Ga: Bhí Aisling sásta sa deireadh.En: Aisling was happy at the end.Ga: An ghaoth ag síideadh go réidh thart timpeall uirthi, d'fhéach sí suas agus chonaic sí réalta mhór, ina loinnir.En: The wind blowing gently around her, she looked up and saw a large star, shining brightly.Ga: Leis an idirghníomhú sin, bhí diúltachacht iompaithe go cailliúint.En: With that interaction, negativity was turned into blissful loss.Ga: Bhí an saol, glanta agus athnuaite, lán deiseanna.En: Life, cleansed and renewed, was full of opportunities.Ga: Go raibh míle maith agat, a dúirt sí leis an aer, sona a d'fhill ar a muintir.En: "Thank you," she said to the air, happiness returned to her family.Ga: Dinéadaíodar a bhí lán de chailliúint shona.En: It was a fair associated with blissful loss.Ga: Seo mar phléigh said caidrimh, saol, agus na fathanna a gcoinnigh iad ceangailte len chéile.En: This is how they discussed relationships, life, and the reasons that kept them connected.Ga: Sin ré nua a Mhóbair.En: It was a new era in
