Sending love

Standard

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

From these photos

Standard

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

You escaped from the ward for a while, to have a snack in the coffee shop. 2nd March 2015. You liked the woolly hat, keeping your head warm, as you had lost all your hair through the chemotherapy.

We love you so much

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

Low tide this morning

I try so hard 

Standard

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.

The surfers were out in force again today

Grey and mizzly

Two o’clock this morning

Standard

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

High tide and sunny in the harbour

Angel in the wind

Standard

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

Breezy and bright

A lone paddleboarder catching a few waves

Waves splashing against Lambeth Walk

Gone for now

Standard

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

Grey and breezy at the beach

Grey, grey, grey in the harbour
