Tuesday 31st October
Singing with the angels
Playing catch with stars
Pillow fights with clouds
And flying around Mars
Sprinkling golden sunbeams
Jumping over shadows
Gliding in the wind
And sliding down rainbows
Missing you
My fun-loving Angel
Cherished son

Panorama of West Porthmeor Beach
Seagull surveying his territory
Porthmeor Beach and the Island
So still in the harbour
Monday 30th October
I seem to be missing you a lot today
Thinking of you each step of the way
Wishing that you’d been able to stay
I look out at all the boats in the bay
The warm sun chases away the grey
But in the end, and come what may
I’ll never, ever forget to say
In my heart is where you’ll stay
My dearest darling Angel son

Gentle waves on Porthmeor Beach
High tide in the harbour
Cloudier towards Hayle
Sunday 29th October
Wrapped in soft and silky Angel wings
Protected​ from harm and other bad things
My sweet Angel son lives there on high
I sigh and smile as I look to the sky
I have to believe that’s where you are
By day in the clouds, at night a star
Fluffy and white, or twinkling so bright
There in my heart, even if out of sight
Love you poppet
So very much

Grey and cloudy, but still a few in the sea
Last day of the half-term​ holidays, and final day for lifeguard cover on the beach
One last paddle…..
Saturday 28th October
Your presence is here, it’s all around
In every room, on the empty chair
In each outing, in the back of the car
Although I know you’re now elsewhere
In every single minute of each day
In the calm silence, in the loud roar
You’re in my head, in my dreams
Know that I’ll love you forever more
My sweetheart
My darling
My Angel
My son

Grey and dull this morning
Friday 27th October
A sunny Friday
Where would you be?
Walking on the sand
With shoes in the sea
Running and jumping
Waves can’t catch me
Loving the fresh air
So young and carefree
My darling Angel
So precious is he

The sunshine is bringing out the holidaymakers
So many playing in the sea
Sunny harbour at low tide
A bank of clouds in the distance
Thursday 26th October
As I blindly stumble along
The twisting road of grief
No directions along the way
To give me some relief
Each route leads off at a tangent
Like none encountered before
Further and further away
Til you lose sight of the shore
Each track is so individual
A lonely walk of heartbreak
Once on, you can’t step off
With memories just keepsake
The journey seems neverending
But I know I’ll see you again
For now you’re gently enfolded
Safe in my heart until then
My darling Angel son

Wednesday 25th October
My precious son
I’m missing you
There is nothing
That I can do
My sweetheart child
So far away
I think of you
Each night and day
My darling boy
Love you so much
I really wish
Our hands could touch
Treasured lad
Remembering
Up on a cloud
You’re slumbering
Beloved Angel
Up there you fly
I’m whispering
A lullaby

Half term holidaymakers enjoying the beach
Tuesday 24th October
I miss you so much
But I know you’re an angel
Life without you
Is just so painful
Love you forever
Forget you never
Darling son
Forever young

Monday 23rd October
When I came upstairs that evening
It was to kiss you goodnight
To tuck you in, smooth the covers
And then turn out the light
But when I came upstairs that evening
Just how little did I know
It would be to kiss you goodbye
And then I had to let you go
My darling
My son
My Angel

Dark skies over Hayle
Sunday 22nd October
You can’t see a broken heart
You can’t hear a silent scream
You can’t dry hidden tears
You can’t soothe a painful dream
But they’re always there
A perpetual flow of reminders
Coursing through our lives
Leaving us to be survivors
For every single moment
You are everywhere around
In my heart, in my head
When I am nowhere to be found
Love you so much my Angel
My precious son
