Friday 3rd March
Sending love to my Angel
As I do every day
Didn’t think I’d lose you
Thought you’d be here to stay.
Planning more adventures
Another holiday
It won’t happen now
Heaven’s too far away.
Missing you today
Precious Angel son

Tuesday 2nd March
From these photos two years ago
Who could know, who could tell?
Coming to the end of treatment
You really did look quite well
But ten days after those pictures
The last breath, you would expel
Falling asleep so peacefully
Such a desperately sad farewell
Lives are completely shattered
Now in a world of grief we dwell
But we have so much love for you
Filled with pride, our hearts do swell.
Sweetheart Angel son
Love you forever

Tuesday 28th February
Wish you were here, my darling
Missing you so much today
Can’t seem to shake off the sadness
But the memories won’t fade away
Still can’t believe this has happened
Our lives are in disarray
Standing beside you daily
“We love you so much” we say.
Forever in our hearts
Beloved Angel son

Sunday 26th February
I try so hard to hide my sorrow
(You’re not supposed to cry)
Instead I speak of you everyday
And the memories intensify.
Remembering all your qualities
That made you so individual
Such a quirky personality
An enigma, a true original.
When you were born, the doctors said
“They broke the mould upon your birth”
You grew up into someone special
We loved you beyond all our worth.
And so it was, when you breathed your last
A massive veil of heartache descended
Obliterating our future plans
With broken lives that can’t be mended.
And so we try to pick up the pieces
A rollercoaster of love and grief
Some days are better than others
We just have to have a strong belief.
Truly grateful for those thirty years
To watch you develop and grow
Our dearest, darling Angel son
Love you more than you’ll ever know.

Friday 24th February
Two o’clock this morning
I was suddenly awoken
Thought I heard voices
The sentences, broken.
Thought it was the neighbours
Talking in the street
Wish they could be quiet
And beat a hasty retreat.
Struggling out of bed
Drowsy, not quite with it
Lights and sounds downstairs
Television was on transmit.
I found Adele singing
Setting fire to the rain
I had a little chuckle
And turned it off again.
I know I’d switched it off
Before I went to bed
So who was the cheeky monkey
Who turned it back on instead?
Was that you my darling?
Playing a trick on us
Turning on the television
Causing a bit of fuss.
No other explanation
Just you making your mark
Getting me up at night
To go stumbling in the dark.
Sweetheart Angel
Fly high Starman
Love you forever

Thursday 23rd February
You’re my Angel in the wind
Whispering through the trees
Dancing across the wave crests
And flying high in the breeze
Up there in the passing clouds
Rustling with the fallen leaves
All around and round about
Way above the stormy seas.
Love you forever
To the moon and back
Beloved Angel son

Wednesday 22nd February
Gone for now
But not forever
Always missed
Forgotten, never.
Love you poppet
My Angel son
Beyond the clouds
Precious loved one.
Safe in my heart
Walking together
That’s where you’ll stay
Forever and ever.
Love you sweetheart
Blowing kisses to you
