Poor Roma lost her husband and father in less than six months. I hope her dear friend Enya is with her during this difficult time.

It's surprising that all three have long-lived parents. Roma's father is 102 years old, Nicky's mother is over 90, and Enya's mother is over 95? (She's still alive, bless her.)

True

Enya's father was 90 too. Then again Roma's mother died when Roma (likely eldest of 4) was still a teenager, in the late 1960s I think

Enya has amazing genes! May she be blessed with the same strength and longevity!

This isn't about the same Enya, haha ('our' Enya was not a young carer, nor were either of her grandmothers named Eileen) but there's an Irish-language AI film starring an Enya.

Leitrim man wins €1,000 prize for Irish-language AI film at national competition

A Leitrim man has taken second place in Údarás na Gaeltachta’s Irish-language AI video competition with his short film ‘An Solas idir Dhá Shaol’.

[disneyteletubby]

I watched it; basically a mix of Rise of the Guardians, Tangled and Titanic (grandmother is a bit like old Rose) but in some modern day rural setting, where Enya (character) drives and swims with a disasterous end if it were real. Quite haunting for such a short animated clip wish there were subtitles.

It's amazing how many people named their daughters after Enya.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya's message for 10 years and 9 days ago...
(Mother's Day/Mothering Sunday 2016)

Compliance but loveliness too

 

[disneyteletubby]

It's amazing how many people named their daughters after Enya.

True, and also in online comment sections where people say they or their daughter's name is Enya after the singer. ♡
In the case I mentioned, it was an animated character, haha.

Also some sanitary brand, some conference, a minor planet, a fish, and a car range.

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya is not in 100-51 of Today FM's 100 Greatest Irish Songs, so hopefully that means she's in the top 50 if Ireland haven't betrayed her completely.

Today FM's 100 Greatest Irish Songs: 100–1 Revealed

Irish music has been the soundtrack to our lives.From first dances and long road trips to house parties, last calls, and nights that ran later than planned, ...

I thought they'd done her dirty, but Enya was at #37 with Orinoco Flow, same age as the song
(The only appearance of one of her songs though where's the iconic Caribbean Blue?)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Oh also I didn't know (and didn't check either because Claudia's show was on) that Enya at the BBC was re-aired a couple of evenings ago.

Enya deserves #1 !!

I wonder , does Enya know how popular her Caribbean blue now?

 

[disneyteletubby]

Enya at the BBC was re-aired a couple of evenings ago.

I'm sure it wasn't like this last year, but they (can't tell if it's Virgin Media or BBC) upscaled it and put a different title font for when I rewatched some on TV

 

[disneyteletubby]

Not an Enya update exactly but it's the first time I've seen a Vinted seller from the United States (I knew for months US can sell to the UK too, just didn't see it till now) and it's for an Enya T-shirt
Decent price too; I'd get it if it was XS than XL

Enya's message
(Similar to the one for her brother; almost didn’t realise it was a new post)

 

[Shoat]

People could try to contact with her sister Moya. At least let her tell where Enya is and what she's up to. What the hell is going on with her anyway?

IMAGINE people phoning a dying Moya to ask about Enya's welfare

This was posted St Patrick's Day (photo with actress Jessie Buckley) taken 2022


(Edit: as of March she was dying )

 

[Enya Dearest]

She wasn't dying then; this was posted St Patrick's Day (photo with actress Jessie Buckley)


(Hope she didn't inadvertently catch something from L. A. )

Was this photo taken less than a month ago? She looked pretty healthy...

 

[disneyteletubby]

then again I thought her face looked more swollen than usual

It's really heartbreaking

Why are they so openly advertising ENYA'S WHEREABOUTS

 

[disneyteletubby]

Why are they so openly advertising ENYA'S WHEREABOUTS

They nearly always do, especially the family member funerals.

The journey to the cemetery for her brother's funeral is still up online. They played (over the footage) the songs Orinoco Flow Smaointe (by Enya), followed by Sail Away (David Gray, not Enya) and a Clannad song by Moya that I ought to find out the name of.

Spoiler: This was the clip (I imagine there'll be something like that for Moya too)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Wait I only just thought to search the Upper Dore postcode; now I know where her childhood home is (and the grandparents' house looks awesome)

 

[disneyteletubby]

Several articles mentioning Enya after Moya's passing, the post she shared. ♡ I wish the default picture could change to more recent though

enyA sits at the center of a moment that is both personal and cultural: the death of Moya Brennan, the lead singer and harpist of Clannad, has prompted reflection on a musical legacy that helped bring Irish and Gaelic-language music to a wider audience. For readers tracking how heritage, memory...

Enya will later be present in the room here (livestream that's already up) and another closer to the front that'll be here. ♡

I'm so nervous

 

[disneyteletubby]

Last time (for her brother's funeral, which I didn't see live) Enya was on the front or second-front pews; hopefully she might be this time too, on the right side of the church. ♡

 

[Agneeta]

Last time (for her brother's funeral, which I didn't see live)

What a strange thing to note. Did you expect to watch his funeral?

 

[BoysForSeles]

I'm so nervous

Why? Have you been asked to speak at it?

 

[disneyteletubby]

Brother's was livestreamed as well in 2021

 

[disneyteletubby]

At least 1K watching live now, they just brought Moya in

 

[disneyteletubby]

And Olive and Enya are there together just saw them holding hands, walking in
