Saturday 11th October 

Day trip to Alcoutim 
On the Guadiana
Looking towards España 
What a panorama 

Love you so much 
Precious sons

Friday 10th October 

Another day 
Beside the sea 
The sunshine warm
As warm can be
A chilled rosé 
Cold beer for you
Holiday time 
It's what we do

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 9th October 

Golden sands await 
With warm embrace 
Toes sink softly 
This wide open space 

The ocean whispers 
A gentle plea 
As worries fade 
Beside the sea 

With happy hearts 
Sun-screened skin 
A perfect day 
Can now begin 

Fuseta 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Treasured Mum

Wednesday 8th October 

Ilha de Tavira 
A tranquil place 
Time slows down 
In nature's embrace 
The salty breeze 
Teasing the shore 
Inviting souls 
To search and explore 
Laughter mingles 
With the tide 
Memories bloom 
Hearts open wide 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Tuesday 7th October 

Watching surf 
At high tide 
Azure skies 
Waves collide 
Splashing foam 
It will glide 
Up the beach 
Caught offside 
Knocked over 
Laughed and cried 
So much fun 
Slip and slide 
Sunshine day 
Ocean wide 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Monday 6th October 

Early morning sunrise 
Flamingoes on the salt pans
Ilha de Tavira luncheon 
With toes in the sands 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Sunday 5th October 

Sixteen years 
Have come and gone 
But in my heart 
You still live on 

Laughter and wisdom 
Your voice still clear 
In our adventures 
I feel you near 

Though time has taken 
Your presence away 
The memories remain 
And forever will stay 

My father 'Hank' 
Missing our fun and laughter 
The adventures and escapades 
4.2.1932 – 5.10.2009

Saturday 4th October 

Be brave, step forth 
Into the light 
Embrace the dawn 
Let dreams take flight 
Take risks that thrill 
Let your heart lead 
In every chance 
The courage you need 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Friday 3rd October 

Thoughts like seabirds 
In frantic flight 
In closed rooms 
Both dark and bright 

A jumbled mess 
A scattered scene 
Where logic fades 
And doubts convene 

Ideas clash 
A noisy spree 
Yet calm resides 
Eventually 

The world outside 
A subtle call 
Dispelling shadows 
Standing tall 

The present waits 
A peaceful shore 
Where inner storms 
Rage on no more 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum

Thursday 2nd October 

Embrace the quiet 
Gentle grace 
Finding joy
In every place 

Dwelling within 
A peaceful mind 
Leaving the fretful 
Thoughts behind 

Breathing it in 
This gentle air 
Banishing sorrow 
Casting out despair 

Love you so much 
Precious sons 
Beloved Mum
