Bhí brat de cheo ag síneadh amach ó Aillte an Mhothair.

A blanket of fog was stretching out from the Aillte an Mhothair {Cliffs of Moher}.

Bhí an fhómhar go mór i réim, a dathanna ag scaipeadh timpeall ar an áit.

Autumn was very much in vogue, its colors spreading around the place.

Bhí na duilleoga ar lasadh le dathanna donn, oráiste, agus buí.

The leaves were ablaze with shades of brown, orange, and yellow.

Bhí an fharraige dorcha gorm ag clisgeadh faoi bhun na n-aillte.

The dark blue sea crashed beneath the cliffs.

Thairis seo, sheas triúr; bean óg darbh ainm Aisling, a deartháir Cian, agus a seanmháthair Maeve.

Beyond this, stood three people; a young woman named Aisling, her brother Cian, and their grandmother Maeve.

Gach bliain, chuaigh siad chun na n-aillte seo le chéile, mar bhí sé ina thraidisiún atá ag an teaghlach le fada an lá.

Every year, they went to these cliffs together, as it was a long-standing family tradition.

Ach i mbliana, bhí teannas sa ghaoth.

But this year, there was tension in the air.

Bhí Aisling agus Cian ag tosnú ar bheith i bhfad óna chéile de bharr argóint mhór a bhí acu níos luaithe sa bhliain.

Aisling and Cian were beginning to drift apart due to a major argument they had earlier in the year.

Bhí Aisling ag iarraidh an gaol a dheisiú, ach ní raibh sí cinnte conas é sin a dhéanamh.

Aisling wanted to mend the relationship but wasn't sure how to do so.

Bhí Maeve, an bhean eagnaí, in ann scéalta den saol a insint a thugann saol an teaghlaigh le chéile.

Maeve, the wise woman, could tell stories from life that brought the family together.

"Is iad na tuinn a chuirimid chuig a chéile a dhéanann na nascanna níos láidre," a dúirt sí le Aisling, lena súile glic ag spréacharnach.

"It's the waves we send to each other that make the bonds stronger," she said to Aisling, her wise eyes sparkling.

Spreagtha ag a focail, shocraigh Aisling gníomh a dhéanamh.

Inspired by her words, Aisling decided to act.

Bhí sé in am caint le Cian.

It was time to talk to Cian.

Shiúil sí ar an imeall le fuinneamh cinntitheach, ag mothú an ghaoth ghéar ag séideadh istigh ina gruaig.

She walked to the edge with determined energy, feeling the sharp wind blowing through her hair.

Bhí Cian ina sheasamh ansin, a shúile ag breith ar radharc na farraige.

Cian stood there, his eyes fixed on the view of the sea.

"Cian," a dúirt sí go ciúin, a guth ag titim isteach sa ghaoth.

"Cian," she said quietly, her voice falling into the wind.

D'fhéach sé uirthi, iontas le feiceáil ina phéire súl.

He looked at her, surprise evident in his eyes.

"Maith thú, Aisling. Cén fáth a bhfuil...?"

"Well done, Aisling. Why have you...?"

"Mise atá caillte," a d'admhaigh sí, an-fhonn aici a muinín a thógáil ar ais.

"I'm the one who's lost," she admitted, eager to regain his trust.

Bhí ciúnas, ach bhraith an farraige ina chúlra mar cheolmhír na hócáide.

There was silence, but the sea in the background felt like the soundtrack of the occasion.

Labhair Cian ansin, "Táimid níos fearr le chéile. Níl an saol furasta, ach ní mór dúinn cloí leis an traidisiún."

Then Cian spoke, "We are better together. Life isn't easy, but we must hold on to tradition."

I bhfaiteadh na súl, d'fhéadfadh na focail sin solas a thabhairt dóibh.

In the blink of an eye, those words could bring them light.

Le chéile, d'fhéachadar amach thar an fharraige, an ghaoth ag séideadh go fíochmhar, ach taobh istigh, bhí síocháin.

Together, they looked out over the sea, the wind blowing fiercely, but inside, there was peace.

Aisling d'athraigh sí; bhí meas nua aici ar luach an teaghlaigh.

Aisling changed; she had a new appreciation for the value of family.

Fiú amháin i gcroí an fhómhair fuar, d'fhéadfaí an teas a fháil i ngrá den sórt seo.

Even in the heart of cold autumn, warmth can be found in such love.

Tógadh an scéal, arís agus arís eile, amhail tonnta na farraige, ach anois, bhí socracht eatarthu agus dearbha athaoirbhíoch go mbeadh gach re seach ar aghaidh maith.

The story was carried on and on, like the waves of the sea, but now, there was calm between them and a renewed determination that every step forward would be good.
