Thursday 25th August
In past times, towards the end of August, we would normally be on our way back north from Florida, stopping off at Hilton Head Island.
On this day, three years ago we spent the afternoon at Harbourtown; you, me and Dad. We played on the tree swing, sat in rocking chairs, climbed to the top of the lighthouse, ate ice cream, wandered through the shops and looked at all the boats in the marina.
The tree swing ~ a relaxing place in the shade
The top of the lighthouse has fabulous views
Flags and rocking chairs; reading among the gnarly trees
Would that we were all sitting on those chairs, right now, enjoying our ice creams. That would be just perfect.
If I close my eyes
You’re there with us
Smiling, chatting, laughing
Asking for money to buy another book
Walking, exploring, content
You’re there with us
If I close my eyes.
Love you forever, my Angel.
Sweetheart, precious son.
