Sunday 4th September
A much brighter day
Clouds being blown away
Although it’s still grey
“I love you”, I say
Know you couldn’t stay
So memories to replay
Together again someday
Up in heaven you play
Beyond the Milky Way.
Sweet Starman Angel

The harbour at low tide this afternoon
Saturday 3rd September
September leaves are falling
Rain dropping from the sky
Looking at your headstone
I find myself asking “Why?”
We had so much fun together
I pause, think of you awhile
And now that you are gone
Some days it’s hard to smile.
Feeling a bit down today
Doesn’t happen very often
Perhaps it’s the weather
My pain will slowly soften.
Maybe it’s the dreary grey
When all I can do is sigh
The world has lost it’s sparkle
Still asking myself “Why?”
Missing you today
Sweetheart
Angel son

Friday 2nd September
Looking through the photos on my phone, I came across this video that Google had put together ~ I hadn’t seen it before ~ I really didn’t know it was there.
You had such a lot of fun: it was 7th August 2014, a hot morning and we had decided to visit Sea World. Manta was your favourite ride here, and you and Dad went on it numerous times.
To cool down we went to Antarctica; Empire of the Penguin, enjoying the spinning ride until disembarkation at the penguin habitat where the temperature is just below freezing. You liked watching the penguins waddle and swim, touching the icy walls, and wandering around the exhibit. It certainly was a great place to escape from the heat outside.
We also watched the Shamu show, went to the top of the Sky Tower and laughed at the sea lions being fed.
The day ended with an almighty thunderstorm, followed by a beautiful sunset.
Watching the video reminded me of all the happy times we had; the haunting music chosen by Google to go with the clip saddens me, but seems apt; I know we’ll never have these opportunities again.
But I have the best memories ever.
I miss you so much, precious Angel son.

Calm afternoon in the harbour
Thursday 1st September
Standing beside you
I whisper “Thinking of you”
I hope you can sense that
Because think of you, I do.
Standing beside you
I whisper “I miss you”
I hope you can hear
Because miss you, I do.
Standing beside you
I whisper “I love you”
I hope you know that
Because love you, I do.
Another Thursday
Seventy seven weeks
My darling son
My sweetheart Angel

Wednesday 31st August
Kisses in the sky
I know they’re from you
Sent with love
Criss crossing the blue
Your way of saying
I’m missing you too
When way up high
To heaven you flew
My Starman Angel
Love you forever I do

Kisses in the sky on our walk down to the beach
Kisses in the sky, I know they’re from you
A new guardian angel looking over you
Lots of holidaymakers at high tide
Boats in the harbour
Tuesday 30th August
Adapt
Accept
But never over it….
Sometimes
There are
No words….
Grief
Will last
A lifetime….
Lives
Forever changed
That night….
I close my eyes
I know
You’re there….
Safely
Within
My heart….
That’s the way
It is
Coping….
Love you
My Starman
Angel in heaven….

Pleasant at the beach this afternoon
Monday 29th August
You always liked to wake up early, have breakfast, then go outside in the fresh air.
In 2011 on this day, we were holidaying on Hilton Head Island, and you loved going down to the swimming pool before anyone else.
Wandering around, sitting on the sunloungers, or dipping your toes in the water.
You didn’t like crowds, so exploring whilst most of the guests were waking up suited you just fine.
Wandering around the empty pool
A quiet moment to dip toes in the water
Just outside the hotel grounds were a set of fountains that young children played in, trying to dodge the plumes of water.
If no one was around, you liked doing that as well, mostly keeping yourself dry, but occasionally laughing when you got drenched.
Fun by the fountains
Early mornings, quiet and peaceful
No worries, no noise, few people.
Sunrise brightens with new colour
So much to find, much to discover.
In those early hours of daybreak
A reflective walk you would take.
A new beginning every morning
Breathe in, to set spirits soaring.
Love you forever sweetheart
Missing our early morning walks.

Too busy for you
Sunday 28th August
My darling Angel son
Been thinking of you today
Always on my mind
And forever in my heart.
The memories will never fade
Such a big personality
Full of fun and mischief
Always keeping us on our toes.
So, nighty night sweetheart
Lay your head upon the clouds
Way up there in heaven
I know you’re safe and sound.
Love you forever

Grey and misty today
Saturday 27th August
Staying strong is what I do
Staying strong is what you see
But deep down, behind the mask
The pain is slowly consuming me.
Holding onto the good is what I do
Holding onto the good is what you see
With so many wonderful memories
My precious Angel is now flying free.
Never falling apart is what I do
Never falling apart is what you see
Even though my heart is broken
I know in heaven you’re pain-free.
Love you forever sweetheart
Even though we’re far apart.
Missing you like crazy
Precious Angel baby.

Busy harbour this afternoon
Friday 26th August
I love you like I love you.
Loved you yesterday, love you still
Always have, always will.
I love you today, tomorrow, forever.
I love you to the moon and back,
Around the planets and all the stars.
I just love you, plain and simple.
I love you, Angel son.

High tide in the harbour this morning
