Everyday

Standard

Saturday 11th February
  

Every single morning I wish

I wish things had been different

That you didn’t have to leave so soon.

  

Every evening I miss you

“Night mum”, is heard no more

But I know you’ll be in my dreams.

  

Everyday I find myself looking for you

So, wherever you may be

Know that I am right there, with you.

  

Love you to the moon and back

Darling Angel son

Dear and sweet

Friday 10th February
  

My precious son, dear and sweet

Dancing now with Angel feet

Flying high with feathered wings

With a voice that heavenly sings

Painting with colours all aglow

Filling skies with a bright rainbow

On fluffy clouds you lay your head

Wish you were here with me instead.

  

Love you

Miss you

The silence of you

Standard

Thursday 9th February
  

One hundred weeks of heartache 

One hundred weeks of Why?

I know you’re there in heaven

Just wish you were by my side.

  

Seven hundred days without you

Seven hundred days of pain

I’ll grieve for you forever

Until I can see you again.

  

Each morning’s just the same

Waking up and you’re not there

Reliving that terrible night

The silence of you is everywhere.

  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .

It’s Thursday. Again.

One hundred weeks ago

Seven hundred days ago

Since you took your last breath.

  

I miss you so much

Love you forever

Precious Angel

Beloved son.

An easterly wind still blows

  

Billowing clouds

Standard

Wednesday 8th February
  

Billowing clouds

And crashing waves

To talk to you

Is what my heart craves.

  

Across the sands

Shoes in the sea

Playing with the tide

You’d laugh with glee.

  

You’re everywhere

I turn today

As along the beach

You did play.

  

Walking around

Tracing your steps

Wondering what life

Will throw at me next.

  

Love you forever

My beach-walking Angel

Memories and Mementos

Standard

Tuesday 7th February
  

Memories and mementos

Keepsakes and scrapbooks

Always there forever

For precious little looks.

  

Photos and video

Certificates and awards

All collected with love

Your whole lifes’ records.

  

That is all I have

Of what is left of you

A rich treasure trove

Reminding me anew.

  

Love you forever

Forget you never

Missing you like crazy

My darling Angel baby.

Cold and breezy at the beach

Less windy in the harbour

More time together

Standard

Monday 6th February
  

I thought we’d have more time together.

More time to make further memories.

Those special moments to later recall 

Written down in our life book of legacies.

  

A piece is missing from our family

My heart is now broken beyond repair

And you had so much more to live for

But you’ve gone, no moments to share.

  

Love you forever and always

Happy birthday to my father

A life well-lived and so fast-paced

He would be eighty five today

Always fun, never straight-laced.

  

And on World Cancer Day…………

My father ~ Pancreatic Cancer

My son ~ Testicular Cancer

Me ~ Metastatic Malignant Melanoma

   

Missing you my Angel father Hank

Missing you my Angel son Frank.

Hank and I. August 2008

Hank and Prince Charles

4.2.1932  –  5.10.2009

Remembering when we were in Scotland and HRH Prince Charles was taken on a two hour, supersonic flying sortie with Hank in a Phantom fighter-bomber. The flight included an air-to-air refuelling exercise with a Victor tanker, taking on 1200 gallons of fuel. They flew as high as 40,000 feet and as low as 1000 feet, making a pass over Balmoral, (reported at the time, as an ‘extrovert flourish’).

Phantoms over Scotland

Looking up

Standard

Thursday 2nd February
  

Looking up to see my Angel

As storm clouds go hurrying by

Just hoping that you’re there

And can see me as you fly.

  

The wind is blowing briskly

Rustling through swaying trees

Is that your whisper I hear

As twigs snap in the strong breeze?

  

Squally gusts whipping up waves

Blowing surf across the beach

Are you there darling Angel?

So near, yet just out of reach.

  

Missing you

Thinking of you

Love you
