On Sombrero Beach

You were lost in thought

Reading a book

A moment in time, caught

.

So different today

After last year’s hurricane

Foliage stripped bare

A barren beach does remain

.

Were you with us today

As we walked over the sand?

Dipping your toes in the water

And tightly holding my hand

.

Love you forever

My darling Angel son

Sombrero Beach, January 2007

Sombrero Beach this morning

Grass, shrubs and hedges all gone

Sombrero Beach, still looking lovely

Still very windy in Key Largo this afternoon

Our chairs on the dock being splashed

The water has risen over a foot above normal

A breezy sunset

With a golden sunburst

A sneaky sighting of Santa on the dock

As the sun goes down

Thursday 20th December

.

A cloudy end to the day

Overnight storm approaching

Thunder and lightning threatened

Towards our location encroaching

.

It’s still considerably warm

A perfect tropical paradise

We’re so incredibly lucky

To be where it’s super nice

.

I picture you wandering around

The grounds, beach and pool

Content to be safe and happy

Then indoors, keeping cool

.

Love you forever

My darling Angel son

Fly high Starman

Now forever young

Wednesday 19th December

.

Missing you continues

As I know it always will

I wonder about you daily

You’re on my mind, still

Enjoying shopping in the mall

Happy to wander, until

It’s time to eat and drink

Then when you had your fill

Off you would go again

Don’t worry about the bill

.

My sweet Angel in the sky

My Starman, fly high

An inquisitive squirrel outside our front door

Reflections at dusk

A cloudy sunset this evening

The moon above palm trees

Tuesday 18th December

.

Vitamin D

Swaying palm tree

So stress-free

Sipping ice tea

.

Shaded seat

Away from heat

Fruit to eat

Oh so sweet

.

Gentle warm breeze

Soft lapping seas

Twenty six degrees

But no guarantees

.

Love you sweetie

Darling Angel son

Monday 17th December

.

A lazy day

Kicking back enjoying the air

So very good

To really have not a care

.

By the pool

A butterfly landed on my chair

Was that you?

Letting me know you’re there?

.

My Angel

I know you are elsewhere

I miss you

With a love beyond compare

.

Peaceful

Beneath swaying palms

With the heady scent of frangipani

Quiet afternoon by the pool

Tropical foliage

Clouds obscure the sunset

Sunday 16th December

.

Fun in Key West

Wandering around

A classic car show

Beauties to be found

.

Lunch at Conch Republic

Drinks on Sunset Pier

You knew all these places

How I wish you were here

.

My darling Angel son

Now forever young

Saturday 15th December

.

It’s wonderfully warm

Though cloudy today

Decorated the tree

Ready for Santa’s sleigh

.

It’s different at Christmas

Without you here

There’s a simple silence

In our hearts you’re near

.

We miss you so much

Breakfast ~ coconut pecan scone and starfruit

Bendy palm trees

A cloudy sunset

My sweet Angel

Always loved, always remembered

A little, festive tree

Thursday 13th December

.

Leaving Miami this morning

Driving down south to Key Largo

For a blissful few weeks

Doing nothing but taking it slow

.

Watching the evening sunset

Looking out to the Gulf of Mexico

A warm breeze rustles the palms

And the sky has a golden glow

.

We miss you sweetie

You loved the Keys

Simple and relaxed

Minds at ease

.

Cloudy sunrise over downtown Miami this morning

Under the palms

Sunset this evening

Wednesday 12th December

Across the ocean

We did fly

Closer to you

Up in the sky

.

Love you forever

Flying over Newfoundland

Snow and ice

Fluffy clouds over Miami
