Saturday 28th December
.
Rain, rain, rain
All through the night
Let’s hit the shops
‘Cos there’s no sunlight
.
Bargains at the outlets
Then onto the mall
Choices of food
To satisfy all
.
Remembering when
You were here
Precious Angel son
You’re always near
.

Friday 27th December

ET and Simpsons
Shrek and Men in Black
Fighting the baddies
In an alien attack
.
Universal Studios
So very busy
Then the weather changed
Becoming quite drizzly
.
Off to Disney Springs
To wander in the crowds
Stopping for a drink
Watching darkening clouds
.
Thinking of you
Treasured Angel son

Thursday 26th December

Aquatica today
For water park fun
Lazy rivers and flumes
Relaxing for some
Then a bit of shopping
With bargains to be found
Shoes and bags and clothing
With big smiles all around
.
Thinking of you
Beloved Angel son

Five Christmases
You haven’t seen
Up in heaven
Is where you’ve been
.
An empty chair
Waiting for you
Just wish you could
Be with us to
.
Thinking of you
Missing you
Remembering you
Love you Frank

But now waiting for Santa

You’d be excited
Darling Angel son
Waiting for Father Christmas
Heavenly forever young

Monday 23rd December
.
Roller-coasters, 3D rides
At Islands of Adventure
Having fun and laughing
As a family altogether
.
And I missed you being there
Remembering all the good times
When you’d go off on your own
Queuing for the single rider lines
.

Sunday 22nd December
.
Another day of driving
We’re off to Theme Park Land
Roller-coasters and parades
Many activities planned
.
The weather isn’t brilliant
I’d want sunshine on demand
But a little rain won’t spoil
Our time in wonderland
.
Thinking of you always
I’ll be holding your hand
Darling Angel son
Sleep tight in dreamland
.

Luke and Ana arriving at Miami…. Big smiles
Arriving in Orlando, the pool had to be tested at our resort
Saturday 21st December

Goodbye Marathon
We’re off to Miami
Watching planes land
Waiting for family

You’d love to see your brother
I know you’d have fun together
If only…. I wish….
Love you sweetheart

So that’s a week done
In the Florida Keys
Packing up tonight
Back to Miami, please
.
Son and girlfriend flying
For two weeks of fun
Orlando and theme parks
Look out, here we come
.
And you are here with us
You loved all the rides
Upside-down roller-coasters
Surrounded on all sides
.
Scared of nothing
Showing no fear
Sweet Angel son
You’ll always be near
.

A windy Sombrero Beach
Empty this morning
We had a wander
Trees growing out from sharp lava rocks
Roots spreading out
Quite a strange sight
Such difficult terrain for the trees
They do seem to manage well
Quite grey again today
And breezy too
Thursday 19th December
.
And so today it rained
Can’t be perfect all the time
Paradise needs watering
Keeps the splendour in its prime
.
Love you poppet
Beloved Angel son

Morning coffee at the Midway Café
The Bayside Marina in front of the Worldwide Sportsman
Inside the Worldwide Sportsman, with a full scale replica of Hemingway’s boat Pilar, in the middle of the store
A striped palm tree (water running down the trunk caused it to look like this)
Christmas tree in the foyer
Very windy this evening
The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son)
