Monday 20th November
Red roses for my love
Looking down from heaven above
Red roses for my darling
Up there your star is sparkling
Red roses for my boy
You filled our hearts with joy
Red roses for my son
Whose earthly life is done
Red roses for my Angel
I’d give more if I were able
Wish you could have more than this
A gentle hug, a mother’s kiss
Love you forever
Treasured son

The incoming tide around Smeaton’s Pier
Sunshine on the houses with dark clouds behind
Harbour panorama
Sunday 19th November
Everywhere I try to find signs
I look for your face in the clouds
I search for you walking in crowds
Everywhere I think you’re there
From the little robin that comes to visit
The white feather that flutters for a minute
Everywhere there’s a piece of you
In a curving, colourful rainbow
Or the landscape lit in a golden glow
My Angel is everywhere
Sitting on the empty chair
Silently flying through the air
Anywhere
Somewhere
Over there

Late afternoon sunshine
Looking down on the harbour
Saturday 18th November
My grief becomes less obvious
But don’t doubt it is still there
Kept hidden away within myself
A silent, interminable nightmare
I know my grief can’t always be seen
But because I loved you so much
My broken heart will ache forever
Until such time your hand I’ll touch
Missing you always
Loving you forever
Sweetheart Angel son

Walking down to the beach this afternoon
A few surfers enjoying the waves
Harbour high tide
Friday 17th November
Just wish my blues
Were the hues
Of the ocean
And the sky
Not the sorrow
Of each tomorrow
The emptiness
Of your absence
Miss you so much
My darling son
Beloved Angel

Golden autumnal colours against a vivid blue sky
The Parish Church
The harbour bathed in sunlight
High tide
Red and yellow boats brighten the scene
Cool, blue waves on Porthmeor Beach
Thursday 16th November
Saying that last goodbye hurt so much
But there’s nothing worse than knowing
I’ll never again hear you say “Hello”
As off to heaven you were going
Miss you my Angel
Precious son
Now you’ll be
Forever young

Wintery skies over Porthmeor Beach
No-one walking along the sand this afternoon
Calm waters in the harbour
Wednesday 15th November
Your precious light will always shine
As your heart beats along with mine
Forming a treasured love, so divine
I’m constantly looking for a sign
To continue with your storyline
Being a lover of all things equine
Galloping quietly in the moonshine
Missing you
Love you more
My beautiful Angel
We all adore

A grey harbour this afternoon
A painting of Frank and Warrior
On a hack through the lanes of the New Forest
Such a beautiful looking animal
Tuesday 14th November
Such a grey sky
Monochrome afternoon
Bare-branched trees
With leaves all strewn
Across the green grass
A golden festoon
Need some sun
To chase clouds away
Bring a smile back
Fears to allay
A lightness of being
An autumnal display
Recalling memories
Daily thoughts employ
As seasons change
So much to enjoy
Wish you were here
My sweet, darling boy
Missing you every day
Love you forever
Beloved Angel son

Dark moody clouds when we visited you today. (Then I saw a little face, just below the centre of the picture……..)
Monday 13th November
Life does goes on
But it’s not the same
I can’t move on
As I call your name
I try to carry on
But grief overcame
Your memory lives on
Like a hall of fame
Love you poppet
Beloved Angel son

The black cat visited us today when we came to see you
Late afternoon, autumnal sunshine
Sunday 12th November
Your voice is in the wind
Carried over the ocean
Whispering words of love
Filled with joy and devotion
I stop to listen carefully
Shuddering with emotion
If I stand and close my eyes
I can see you in slow motion
Dipping and diving over the surf
I’m sadly struck by the notion
My dearest, darling Angel son
My heart is irreparably broken
Thinking of you always
Loving you forever

White horses and choppy waves hitting Man’s Head
Blue skies and blustery winds
A little less windy in the harbour
Surf rolling towards Porthminster Beach
Saturday 11th November
Finding these photos
Did make me smile
Even if it was just
For a little while
The look on your face
Filled with pleasure
Such happy days
My precious treasure
Laughing and joking
About simple things
Now you’re an Angel
Flying with wings
And I miss you so much
I miss you so much it hurts
Love you sweetheart

Pandora Inn, Restronguet Creek, 2006
You were twenty-one and full of mischief
Always having a good old laugh
