Yellow
You liked yellow
The sunflowers you wanted to grow
Kites, that in the wind, did blow
Paintings you’d happily show
Trinkets for me would sparkle and glow
You liked yellow
Yellow.
You know.

Yellow roses for you xxx
Your birthday display
Beautiful blue afternoon
Wednesday 18th January
It’s your second birthday in heaven
So just spread those wings and fly
Wishing you could be with us today
As we blow kisses up to the sky.
My precious Angel, birthday boy
Even though you’re thirty two
We bought for you a Thomas toy
We know you’d like the engine, blue.
Party with the angels up there
Play games, eat cake, blow out candles too
We miss you so much my darling
Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you.
As we remember all the joy you brought
And how your smile would brighten the day
Happy birthday to our sweet Starman
We love you more than words can say.

Tuesday 17th January
Just waiting for your birthday tomorrow
Thinking about how excited you’d be
With presents to open, places to go
A great big smile, eyes filled with glee.
But now it’s all so quiet and empty
No happy voices, shouts or laughter
All we have are our many memories
As our love is sent to the hereafter.
Precious Angel son
Love you forever

Monday 16th January
Just thought I’d let you know
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
Despite all my pain and sorrow
I’ll keep thinking of you, as tears flow.
Just thought I’d let you know
Even though a cold wind does blow
Beside you, shiv’ring from head to toe
I’m there, because I miss you so.
Just thought I’d let you know
As long as your star does glow
We’ll always be there to show
Our love will grow and grow.
Dearest, darling Angel son

My Angel
My love
My son.
My tears
My pain
My heartbreak.
My memories
My photographs
My writings.
Your life
Your vitality
Your legacy.
Your soul
Your spirit
Your being.
Our hopes
Our dreams
Our future.
Love you
Miss you
Always.

Saturday 14th January
Fly through clouds
Twinkle with stars
Sing with angels
Slide down rainbows
Catch snowflakes
Play with moonlight
Dance in the breeze
Sparkle in sunbeams.
Only you can
My little man
Darling Angel son
Now forever young.

Friday 13th January
A chill wind blew through the trees
As we stood beside you today
Talking quietly, picking away leaves
Clouds scudding by; sky blue and grey.
Our daily ritual has begun again
It just feels the right thing to do
Although our hearts are filled with pain
We will never forget about you.
Visiting your final resting place
Seems a way to honour your memory
Even though tears fall down my face
I know our love is exemplary.

Today was a day to catch up on all the sleep lost due to traveling ~ well that was my excuse for not getting out of bed until after eleven this morning.
But it really wasn’t a day worth getting up for. Windy, lashings of rain and so very cold: most unlike what we have been used to.
We did come to see you, my darling, and have decided to keep the Christmas wreaths and ornaments for a few more days. We need a dry day anyway, to replace these with spring flowers and the like. I hope you don’t mind.
Love you
Moon and back
Dearest Angel son.

We completed the final part of our journey today, arriving home early afternoon.
What a fabulous time we have had, remembering, and thinking of you every step of the way, but also making new memories with your brother.
We stopped by your final resting place, to let you know we were home, and to have a little chat.
We have missed you so very much on this, our first holiday in America since losing you.

Tuesday 10th January
We left Miami yesterday afternoon and flew to Charlotte; a super quick transfer saw us running from Concourse D to Concourse C to make our connection.
It was a smooth transatlantic crossing, with a generous tail wind, seeing us touching down at 9:30am this morning.
What a shock to be back in this country. After endless days of perfect blue skies and warmer than average temperatures, we needed our coats to keep out the wind and chilly air.
We drove halfway home, and then stopped overnight in a hotel. Well, it was actually mid-afternoon when we arrived, and I just crawled into bed and fell asleep. It had been a long thirty six hours of traveling.
Love you my darling
Treasured Angel son
We miss you so much.
