I know

Standard
Thursday 29th February 

I know we said goodbye
That really happened
You're gone
Pain unimagined

But, those memories remain
Entangled and intertwined
You're here
In my heart and mind

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

St Ives today

Watching

Standard
Wednesday 28th February 

Watching the storm
In its fierce display
Smile at the horizon
Where night turns to day
Wrap up against the chill
In nature's parade
In moments of wonder
Calmness is conveyed

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Dearest Mum

A grey and rainy day

Hope

Standard
Tuesday 27th February 

There's hope within 
A spark of light
Embers still glow
In the depth of night
Through the shadow
Its warmth still flows
A reminder that
In darkness, faith grows

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Dearest Mum

Blue skies this morning, but it turned misty and foggy later on

Sunshine and showers

Standard
Monday 26th February 

Sunshine and showers
A mixture today
On and off for hours 
The gales did play
Fast-moving clouds
Chasing across the sky
Blue skies break through
And for a while it's dry

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Choppy seas behind the harbour

Pretend

Standard
Sunday 25th February 

Grief makes me pretend
With whispered untruths
That everything is fine
But I'm making an excuse
That I am all right
In the light of day
But the pain is there
It won't go away

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Heavy showers today

Looking up

Standard
Saturday 24th February 

Looking up 
I search for you
I smile
Hoping you'll see it too
Your star
Is there shining bright
Thinking
Of you throughout night

I hope
You're watching from afar
Guiding me
As a distant star
I sigh
In the quiet breeze
Just knowing
You're flying with ease

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

The harbour looks much better in the sunshine

A tiny flame

Standard
Friday 23rd February 

A tiny flame
Powerful became
Battling darkness
Strength to harness
Refusing to dim
There's hope within
Embers still glow
Through the shadow

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

Sunshine, showers and hail today

Sometimes

Standard
Thursday 22nd February 

Sometimes
It's quite hard
A smile, a song
A scene to regard
Remembering
And reminiscing
In recollections
Your presence missing

You come to mind
In thoughts so clear
Pictures painted
Memories dear
Times we were together
The best of days
Never forgotten
In heartfelt ways

In my heart forever
You reside
A cherished bond
Where love abides
Through smiles and tears
In the grand design
In memories treasured
Your light will shine

Love you so much
Precious sons
Treasured Mum

Panic attack

Standard
Wednesday 21st February 

A panic attack yesterday
A stormy ride
The hospital visit
Nerves on edge collide
Don't know why
No rhyme nor reason in sight
Calm down, calm down
Everything's alright

In the ebb and flow
Of life's journey grand
With each step forward
Yet firmly stand
Through panic and fear
We find our way
In the light of hope
To a brighter day

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Skin check day

Standard
Tuesday 20th February 

Skin check day
A vigilant gaze
Any abnormal moles
Concerns to raise?
Being observant
In the sun's embrace
Look after your skin
In any case

That melanoma
Is a silent foe
Dermatology
To appointments go
Hospital visits
For peace of mind
Taking good care
No cancer to find

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Dearest Mum
