You are my darling Angel

I miss you so very much

The tears still flow now and then

I’d still like your hand to touch.

You’ll always be my Angel

I love you with all my heart

The pain will always be there

But we’ll never be apart.

Beloved precious son

Wasn’t expecting that….

Saturday 8th April

Well, I wasn’t expecting that…….

We had arranged to take my mum out for lunch today. She was looking forward to a day out from the care home, and enjoy the sunshine.

When I arrived mid-morning, a carer was on the phone to a doctor, as my mum was complaining of chest pains and shortness of breath. Paramedics and an ambulance were called, and just under three hours later we had arrived at the accident and emergency department of the hospital.

Blood tests, obs, ECG and an x-ray were carried out. There has definitely been some sort of cardiac event. At five o’clock she was taken up to the Medical Admissions Unit to await results.

Knowing that the cemetery gates are locked at sunset, we decided to leave mum and hurry back to come and see you. Arriving at seven o’clock, yes, the gates had been locked, but it was still sunny with blue skies. However, the side pedestrian gate was unlocked, thank goodness.

We needed to see you today. Two years ago, this became your final resting place. It was so peaceful, the last few rays of the sun were dancing through the trees, a few birds were still singing and your heart ornaments were tinkling in the breeze.

We love you so much sweetie, and we miss you more each day.

Arriving back at the hospital, the results were still to be forthcoming. However, just after nine o’clock we finally saw a senior consultant who was happy the second set of bloods showed no significant heightened activity of a particular enzyme, and he would begin the discharge process. Huge sighs of relief all round.

We finally left mum, safely tucked up in bed and arrived home ourselves just before ten thirty.

So, I certainly wasn’t expecting all that to happen today.

Love you my darling

Precious Angel son

The view from the care home gardens this morning

Although the gates were locked, we managed to get in via a small side entrance

We needed to see you my darling

Your beautiful, bright flowers

Friday 7th April

Two years ago was your church service, attended by so many family, friends, acquaintances and locals from the town.

Such a sad, sad day; and we have missed you every single day since then.

You were such a huge part of so many lives.

We love you so very, very much my darling.

I’m still looking for you in rainbows.

Beautiful blue harbour

Such a pretty day again

Dancing in the Sky

Thursday 6th April

I came across this beautiful video today, sung by Dani and Lizzy, twins from Vancouver. The song was written by Lizzy, after a friend passed away.

The words are perfect.

I do hope you are dancing in the sky too, and singing with a choir of angels. That would be just perfect.

Love you my sweetheart.

Darling Angel son.

“Dancing In The Sky”

[Verse 1:]
Tell me, what does it look like in heaven?
Is it peaceful? Is it free like they say?
Does the sun shine bright forever?
Have your fears and your pain gone away?

[Pre-hook:]
‘Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left
And here on earth everything’s different, there’s an emptiness

[Hook:]
Oh-oh, I,
I hope you’re dancing in the sky
I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choir
I hope the angels know what they have
I’ll bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you arrived

[Verse 2:]
So tell me, what do you do up in heaven?
Are your days filled with love and light?
Is there music? Is there art and invention?
Tell me are you happy? Are you more alive?

[Pre-Hook:]
‘Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left
And here on earth everything’s different, there’s an emptiness

[Hook:]
Oh-oh, I,
I hope you’re dancing in the sky
And I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I’ll bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you arrived

I hope you’re dancing in the sky
And I hope you’re singing in the angel’s choir
And I hope the angels know what they have
I’ll bet it’s so nice up in heaven since you arrived
Since you arrived
