Saturday 10th September
I miss you
I am missing you
I will always miss you.
When I reached for your hand
And it wasn’t there
I realised I’d miss you forever.
But
You gave me memories
So many happy times.
The life you lived
The love you shared
Stays with me for always.
My Angel

Blue
Friday 9th September
Under grey September skies
The rain and mist blow in
Gone is the summer’s warmth
Cooler against my skin.
But the love I have within me
For both my darling boys
The living and the departed
Fills me with comfort and joys.
Special memories and events
Will never, ever fade away
Good times will stay with me
Brightening a grey September day.
Thinking of you, my Angel.
Love you forever sweetheart.

Thursday 8th September
Somewhere up in heaven
My Angel son is smiling,
Wish you were here on earth
Instead of up there, flying.
My heartache continues daily
But I know you’re not in pain,
That’s something I’ll focus on
Until we’re together again.
Love you forever
Missing you always

Almost two years old ~ at Nan’s house
Such a sweetie ~ in the back garden
Wednesday 7th September
My sweetie pie Angel
A bright shooting star
Way up in heaven
It does seem so far.
You’re thought about often
And your name I speak
Searching for signs
Your presence I seek.
Just because you’re gone
Doesn’t mean you’re not here
Safely tucked within my heart
You’ll never disappear.
My sweetie pie Angel
My darling son
Gone too soon
Precious little one.

Harbour railings and blue sky
Little fluffy clouds
Sunshine and shadows in the bottom garden
Hydrangea flowers peeking through the fence
Tuesday 6th September
Remembering
I do a lot of that these days.
Recalling
The good times we had, always.
Reminiscing
All those fabulous, fun holidays.
Recollecting
The look of love in your gaze.
Reflecting
Your star sets the night ablaze.
Recognising
All we have are our yesterdays.
Realising
Up in heaven your head now lays.
Fly high my darling Starman.
Precious Angel son.

A quiet, grey afternoon at low tide
Monday 5th September
Thinking of you
Because
I’m missing you
Because
You’re always on my mind
Because
I never will forget you
Because
I hold you in my heart
Because
I can only dream of you
Because
You’re now in heaven
Because
You’re my Angel son
Because
Because
Because
I love you
I love you
I love you

Sunny and warm in the harbour this afternoon
Fewer people around today
Sunday 4th September
A much brighter day
Clouds being blown away
Although it’s still grey
“I love you”, I say
Know you couldn’t stay
So memories to replay
Together again someday
Up in heaven you play
Beyond the Milky Way.
Sweet Starman Angel

The harbour at low tide this afternoon
Saturday 3rd September
September leaves are falling
Rain dropping from the sky
Looking at your headstone
I find myself asking “Why?”
We had so much fun together
I pause, think of you awhile
And now that you are gone
Some days it’s hard to smile.
Feeling a bit down today
Doesn’t happen very often
Perhaps it’s the weather
My pain will slowly soften.
Maybe it’s the dreary grey
When all I can do is sigh
The world has lost it’s sparkle
Still asking myself “Why?”
Missing you today
Sweetheart
Angel son

Friday 2nd September
Looking through the photos on my phone, I came across this video that Google had put together ~ I hadn’t seen it before ~ I really didn’t know it was there.
You had such a lot of fun: it was 7th August 2014, a hot morning and we had decided to visit Sea World. Manta was your favourite ride here, and you and Dad went on it numerous times.
To cool down we went to Antarctica; Empire of the Penguin, enjoying the spinning ride until disembarkation at the penguin habitat where the temperature is just below freezing. You liked watching the penguins waddle and swim, touching the icy walls, and wandering around the exhibit. It certainly was a great place to escape from the heat outside.
We also watched the Shamu show, went to the top of the Sky Tower and laughed at the sea lions being fed.
The day ended with an almighty thunderstorm, followed by a beautiful sunset.
Watching the video reminded me of all the happy times we had; the haunting music chosen by Google to go with the clip saddens me, but seems apt; I know we’ll never have these opportunities again.
But I have the best memories ever.
I miss you so much, precious Angel son.

Calm afternoon in the harbour
Thursday 1st September
Standing beside you
I whisper “Thinking of you”
I hope you can sense that
Because think of you, I do.
Standing beside you
I whisper “I miss you”
I hope you can hear
Because miss you, I do.
Standing beside you
I whisper “I love you”
I hope you know that
Because love you, I do.
Another Thursday
Seventy seven weeks
My darling son
My sweetheart Angel
