  In a small village nestled in the shadow of the Wicklow Mountains, there lived a young couple named Brendan and Siobhan Murphy. They were blessed with love for each other and a cozy thatched cottage surrounded by fields of emerald green, but their greatest blessing came in the form of their firstborn son, little Cian.

His hair was golden like ripened wheat, his eyes were the deep blue of summer sky, and his laughter was so musical it seemed to make the very flowers bloom brighter. From the moment he was born, Cian brought joy to everyone who met him, and his parents loved him more than life itself.
