Monday 6th June

You were born in 1985, and it was during that year that Sister Sledge released their single Frankie.
A catchy, toe-tapping song, purportedly written about Frank Sinatra, but we know it really was written for you, don’t we?
The song makes you smile and sing-a-long, with you.
Our little Frankie.
Our darling boy.
Now our Angel in heaven.

Missing you every day.
Loving you forever.

Sunday 5th June

Just thinking of you
That’s not really new
Just wanted to say
In my own little way
Just love you so much
And missing your touch
Just sparkle so bright
Up in the sky tonight
Just to let me know
So I see your star glow

Precious Angel son

Sunny corner of the harbour today

Saturday 4th June

You always were a big kid at heart, never really growing up, enjoying childlike adventures, and being happy with the simple things in life.
Fearless, curious, innocent and carefree too, you woke each morning ready to have fun.

You looked forward to, and really enjoyed our annual summer holiday visits to America. You never grew tired of the theme parks, year after year.
You would scour the internet for news of different rides to try, shows to watch, new experiences to test. You delighted in the merriment the white knuckle rides brought you.
Within the theme parks you also enjoyed those sections for younger children. Scrambling over adventure playparks, meeting with characters, and gaining pleasure from the rides for little ones.

And we miss that fun in our lives.
You allowed us to share your extended childhood for thirty years.
We miss that so much.

Thinking of you each and every day.
Missing you every minute of every hour.
Loving you forever and forever.

A big kid in Toon Land, Islands of Adventure, August 2012

Meeting the gorgeous Betty Boop ~ even her security guard had a laugh

A big, wide grin ~ Betty Boop made you feel so special

Popeye was pretty cool, too

Thursday 2nd June

I hold you in my memory
I find you in my dreams.

Flying high, twinkling bright
Soaring on your wings.

My perfect, shining star
My dearest, beloved Angel.

To the moon and back again
I’ll love you forevermore.

Gone too soon, but now at peace
Precious lad, forever young.

This afternoon on the harbour

Wednesday 1st June

Standing beside you
Quietly whispering
I love you, I miss you
Comforts me, for a while
Alleviates the pain, briefly.

Looking at your photograph
I blow you a kiss
I love you, I miss you
I smile at your face
Or cry… Or both.

Tucked safe within my heart
I know you’re with me
I love you, I miss you
My Angel up in heaven
Only a thought away.

August 2013, Harbour Town, Hilton Head Island. A tree swing, a smile, a Star Trek book. Perfect

A warm glow at the end of the day

Monday 30th May

Someday soon, I know there’ll be
A few more smiles than tears.
It’s what people keep telling me
But I know it’ll probably be years.

A few more years for the pain lessen
The hurt in my heart to ease.
A little time to end the depression
But I know there’s no guarantees.

I’m trying hard to remember you
And all the happy times we had.
The laughter and the good times too
So many memories to make me glad.

I treasure each and every moment
I remember your individuality.
Fun, adventures and enchantment
Such a kind and caring personality.

Love you forever
To the moon and back
Beloved Angel son.

Evening light in the harbour

Just before sunset

Sunday 29th May

Time passes, slowly
Seconds, minutes, hours
Days, weeks, months.

Actually, it’s been
Over a year
Since you left us.

Four hundred
And forty four days,
To be exact.

And yet it seems
Like only yesterday
You were here.

But you’re not here
You’re there
Flying with Angel wings.

And I miss you
Every single day
I always will.

But I’ll keep on
Loving you
With all my heart.

I’ll remember you
And talk of you
Until I see you again.

My darling son
Precious young man
Now in heaven.
