Somewhere

Standard

Saturday 24th September
  

Somewhere within the dark, depths of nightmares

In the miserable fog of hopelessness

I’m searching for rainbows and smiles

To ease my desperate loneliness.

  

Trying to catch an elusive moonbeam 

Looking for a switch to turn the colour back on

Chasing memories, holding onto dreams

I’m finding it hard to accept you’ve gone.

  

Missing you every day

Love you forever

My precious Angel son.

There’s a space today

Standard

Friday 23rd September
  

There’s a space today

Where you should be

Standing just there

Right next to me.

  

A day trip to Bath

Recalling days past

A tear in my eye

But memories last.

  

Love you Angel.

Dearest darling son.

Bath, October 2008

There’s a space today, where you should be

The River Avon, looking up to the Pulteney Bridge

Bath Abbey

I will always

Standard

Thursday 22nd September
   

I will always miss what would have been

I will always treasure what was

I will keep those memories evergreen

I will always love you, just because.

  

We drove your brother to Bristol airport early this morning to catch a flight to Lisbon, then on to Spain, to be with his girlfriend.

He has spent the summer with us, working and saving money, and now it’s time to start his job, teaching young students English.

The house will be quiet.

And it’s Thursday again.

Eighty weeks.

I love you forever my darling Angel son.

You, on the pier at Sunset Beach, NC. August 2010

Each and every day

Standard

Tuesday 20th September
   

Grief……

Admitting your weaknesses

Showing your strengths……

Head bowed in sadness

Eyes looking skywards……

Such great heartache

With love everlasting…..

So many memories

To remember with a smile…..

Holding tightly onto the love

Not despairing over the loss…..

Good times and bad

Now, no more times…..

Trying so very hard

To live a new normal…..

You are gone

But your soul lives on…..

My Angel in heaven

Who once walked this earth…..

Dearest, darling son

Missed each and every day…..

Watching the rain

Standard

Monday 19th September
   

I’m watching the rain

It’s calling your name.

I listen to the sea

Bringing you back to me.

I can see the clouds

Your face in the crowds.

Swaying branches on trees

Your hands I can seize.

I shelter from the gale

Our lives; a fairy tale.

Avoiding the shadows

To dance in the meadows.

Warmth of the sun’s rays

Remembering holidays.

Gazing at the night sky

You’re my Angel on high.

I’m beneath the moonlight 

Looking up at you tonight.

High tide, early evening

High tide in the harbour tonight

In my dreams

Standard

Sunday 18th September
  

I see you everyday

I hug you every night

I hear your voice daily

Your star is shining bright.

  

I know your heart’s beating

I’ll hold your hand tonight

I sense your presence near me

I know you’ll sleep tight.

  

In my dreams

In my dreams tonight

Daydreams

Daydreams will reunite.

  

Love you sweetheart

Precious Angel son.

Wooden Jumbo boats

Standard

Saturday 17th September
  

Wooden Jumbo boats sailing in the bay

Through the waves, making spray

Watching them as they drift away.

  
It’s five hundred and fifty five days

I’m looking back on our yesterdays

Dreaming of sailing over waterways.

 

Missing you, my Angel

Love you forever

The Barnabus, flying the Cornish flag

Very low tide in the harbour

A couple of hours later, and the sea has come in

Another wooden sail boat is making ready

More lug rigged vessels moving out into the bay

Peaceful afternoon on the water

Quietly thoughtful

Standard

Friday 16th September
  

Here you are sitting, quietly thoughtful

Taking in the world, silently watchful

Your behaviour to others, most helpful

Enjoying our adventures, always playful

Sometimes avoiding crowds, so bashful

Great sense of humour, ever cheerful

Your outlook on life, most delightful

Now an Angel in heaven, so beautiful

I know you’ll be, forever youthful.

  

My darling Angel son

That was you

Standard

Thursday 15th September
   

Sometimes

I see something

I hear a sound

I sense you’re there

Or I just look up

I smile

Because

I feel my spirits lifted

Because

I know that was you.

  

Love you forever

Precious Angel son.
