Andrew McGinley shares heartwarming picture as he spots three feathers on children's grave

The father of three children who tragically lost their lives in their family home in 2020 has shared a heartwarming update on his Conor’s Clips Twitter page telling followers that he spotted three feathers on his children's grave on Monday morning.

Brave dad Andrew McGinley shares memories of his three children, Conor, Darragh and Carla McGinley, on his social media pages as he pledges to keep their memory alive.

Andrew uses the page, titled Conor’s Clips after his son Conor’s dream of having his own YouTube channel, to share pictures and videos of everyday moments he captured of his three beloved children. However, on Monday morning Andrew tweeted two lovely posts about “signs” from his children that he spotted.

In the first tweet, Andrew shared a video of a deer, with the caption: “Only one this morning at 6:30am so ….. Maybe Conor, he was always an early riser. Maybe Carla, out and about as curiosity was getting the better of her. Maybe Darragh, who has turned off Conor and Carla’s alarms for a laugh. It’s Darragh.”

One hour later he shared another tweet, posting a picture of three white feathers on his children's grave with the caption: “Only one deer when I usually see three. Yet I call into the grave and there’s three feathers sitting there.

“No other feathers anywhere to be seen on any of the surrounding graves. A breeze coming down from the hills so they should blow away. I don’t believe in signs but sometimes…..”

Conor, 9, Darragh, 7, and Carla, 3, were killed by their mother, former nurse Deirdre Morley, in January 2020.

Morley was subsequently found not guilty by reason of insanity for the murder of their children, whom she had with Andrew.

Morley has been in custody at the Central Mental Hospital ever since the three tragic children were found dead in their home in Newcastle in Dublin on January 24, 2020.
