Sunday 11th August

.

Exploring the darkness

To find a bright star

Seeking the light

Gleaming from afar

.

Traipsing through treacle

Sinking in shifting sands

Trying to find you

Reaching for your hands

.

Then breathe for a while

Listen to my heartbeat

And smile knowingly

My Angel so sweet

.

I know you’re close by

Though you can’t be seen

The strength of your soul

Those memories serene

.

I love you to bits

I miss you so much

Precious Angel son

Remembering your touch

.

Early afternoon, a good swell, but big clouds brewing

Catching waves

Fun in the sea

Blue skies for a while

And……. the crowds return

Quieter at West Porthmeor

Playing in the surf

Some darkening clouds over the harbour

Saturday 10th August

.

I take a deep breath

I pause for a while

I stop for a moment

Each day to reconcile

Finding it so hard

To bring about a smile

Since you’ve been gone

Life’s become a trial

Trying to acknowledge

A different lifestyle

.

Love you forever sweetheart

My heavenly Angel son

Red flags and a large swell

Strong surf today

Look, but don’t go in the water

Swimming in the harbour

Much calmer this side of the bay

Friday 9th August

.

Deep inside my head

And buried in my heart

All the recollections

Keep us from being apart

.

My precious Angel son

Now forever young

A break in the rain

Quite blustery today

Fast, scudding clouds

Many enjoying the waves on Porthmeor Beach

But not so many holidaymakers on the beach this afternoon

Surf school students vying for the best wave

Thursday 8th August

.

Wherever you have walked

Wherever you have been

A sprinkling of memories

With many smiles seen

.

Missing you sweetheart

Beloved Angel son

The lifeboat festooned with pennants

Lifeboat Day in the harbour

Many holidaymakers line the Wharf to watch

Much calmer and quieter on Porthmeor Beach

Not much of a swell today

Wednesday 7th August

.

We didn’t see it coming

We just weren’t prepared

For such a long time

For you, we cared

.

And we miss you my darling

We think about you every day

We love you so very much

Wishing you were here to stay

.

Truro cathedral

One of the three spires

Tuesday 6th August

.

I hold you tight

Kiss you goodnight

You’re in my dreams

Or so it seems

The brightest star

Shines from afar

Yet gone too soon

Beyond the moon

.

Love you sweetie

Remembering you daily

My darling Angel son

Down the hill to the beach

After early rain, the beach begins to fill up with holidaymakers

Rather breezy today

The harbour this afternoon

Sunday 4th August

.

Mostly, just missing you

You’re not here

You can’t be found

Yet, within my heart

You’re tightly bound

.

Beloved Angel son

Now forever young

Summer season in full swing

But is there any space left?

A French bilge keeler in the harbour

Saturday 3rd August

.

So many memories

Both sweet and sad

Joyous and painful

Wonderful and bad

.

Bringing so much love

That continues to grow

In those left behind

Much more than you know

.

Precious Angel son

Flying high above

Blowing kisses to you

Filled with lots of love

.

A grey and muggy afternoon

Not much swell for the surf school

Friday 2nd August

.

I’ll continue to celebrate your life
Trying hard to recall the many good times
The fun, the adventures and the pantomimes
You’ll never be forgotten
And maybe the pain will soften

.
My darling Angel son
Loved you then
Love you still
Always have
Always will

Perfect day for surf lessons

So very busy, again

The harbour at low tide

Kayaks lined up to rent
