Bhí an samhradh caite ar Dugaí Bhaile Átha Cliath, áit a raibh spás comhoibrithe ag teacht chun beatha faoi fuinneoga móra ag ligean solas na gréine istigh.

The summer was spent on Dugaí Bhaile Átha Cliath (Dublin Docks), where a coworking space was coming to life under large windows letting in the sunlight.

Bhí an áit lán le díograis díograiseoirí agus daoine cruthaitheacha digiteacha.

The place was filled with the enthusiasm of enthusiasts and digital creatives.

Bhí radharc álainn ar fhlora Bhleá Cliath ón áit sin.

There was a beautiful view of flóra Bhleá Cliath (Dublin's flora) from there.

Sa lár den spás sin, bhí Siobhán agus Eoin ag comhrá.

In the center of that space, Siobhán and Eoin were having a conversation.

Bhí Siobhán, le gean íontach ar a cuid oibre, ag smaoineamh ar thairiscint poist thar lear.

Siobhán, with a great love for her work, was considering a job offer abroad.

Ach bhí imní uirthi go gcaillfeadh sí a dlúthchairdeas le daoine, go háirithe le Eoin.

But she was worried she would lose her close friendships, especially with Eoin.

Bhí Eoin an cairdiúil, i gcónaí in aoibh, ach bhí diagnóis faighte aige le déanaí a chuir mearbhall air.

Eoin was very friendly, always cheerful, but he had recently received a diagnosis that confused him.

Bhí sé le bheith faoi scian le haghaidh oibriú apaincíteas.

He was to undergo surgery for appendicitis.

Cé go léirigh sé crógacht agus greann, bhí eagla faoi bheith gan freagracht ag an am tábhachtach seo don fhoireann.

Though he showed bravery and humor, he feared being without responsibility at such a crucial time for the team.

Bhí Siobhán i gcruachas.

Siobhán was in a dilemma.

Fear Síle leis an gcaidreamh a choinneáil ach freisin an deis a ghlacadh.

She wanted to maintain her relationships but also take the opportunity.

Thug Eoin muinín di, ag iarraidh go mairfeadh a ghreann agus áit sa fhoireann fiú le linn a téarnamh.

Eoin gave her confidence, wishing his humor and place in the team would remain even during his recovery.

Chun gach éinne a spreagadh, shocraigh Siobhán cóisir beag Lúnasa a eagrú san oifig, le ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar an bhfómhar agus Eoin temporary a fhágáil slán sula rachaidh sé faoi scian.

To inspire everyone, Siobhán decided to organize a small August party in the office, to celebrate the harvest and give Eoin a temporary farewell before his surgery.

Rinneamar gáire, d’ólamar, ar lá lán gréine.

We laughed, we drank, on a day full of sunshine.

Eoin, cé go raibh neart oibríochtaí roimhe, d’éirigh leis a mheangadh a choinneáil.

Eoin, though having many operations before, managed to keep his smile.

Bhí seolta breá ag an bhfoireann faoin am seo.

The team sailed smoothly by this time.

Tháinig an lá mór.

The big day arrived.

Chuaigh Eoin faoi scian, ach d'éirigh leis.

Eoin underwent surgery, but he succeeded.

Níor éirigh a ghreann as a áit, agus bhí cúpla lá tar éis bualadh leis an foireann arís, dinnéaróg aeir agus beannacht ar ais.

His humor didn't leave, and a few days after, meeting the team again, he was greeted with cheers and warm welcome.

Bhí slán fágtha le Siobhán freisin, dóchasach gur cheart di an post nua a ghlacadh.

Goodbyes were said to Siobhán too, who was hopeful that she should take the new job.

Dúirt Eoin léi go mbeadh gach rud ceart go leor i gcónaí idir cairde fíor.

Eoin told her that everything would always be fine between true friends.

Nuair a chonaic an bheirt acu amach ar an spéir ghorm, thuig Siobhán go bhfanann cairdeas trí thiús agus trí thanaí.

When they both looked out at the blue sky, Siobhán understood that friendship endures through thick and thin.

Bhí sí ullamh don athrú, le tuiscint níos doimhne ar chumhacht cairdeas, seirbhís agus glacadh le cabhair óna chéile.

She was ready for the change, with a deeper understanding of the power of friendship, service, and accepting help from each other.

Gach rud ceart go leor faoin spéir ghorm agus fuaimeanna guthacha na ndíograiseoirí ag dul thart.

Everything was alright under the blue sky with the sounds of the enthusiasts going around.
