Friday 5th May
An Angel on the wind
Is calling out your name
Blowing the memories back
Wishing you were here once again.
Missing you today, as always
Sweetheart Angel son

The black cat
Thursday 4th May
The black cat came visiting today
Bounding along and purring loudly
We haven’t seen him for quite some while
All sleek and black, looking at us proudly.
We’re not really people who like cats
But this one always seems to seek us out
And so, I wonder whether it’s a sign
From you; you’re all around and about.
We miss you so much my darling
We’ll never, ever stop loving you
Thinking of you all the time
My precious sweetheart Angel true.

Enjoying the sunshine
Bright and breezy in the harbour
A lovely early evening dinner to round off the day. Mum, brother, niece, sister, husband, me, son

Within our hearts
Wednesday 3rd May
Although only here for a while
You touched so many with your smile
For thirty years, then that was it
Your bright, burning candle just quit
Unexpectedly, without warning
We swiftly descend into mourning
We know our grief is there forever
Within our hearts, you’ll leave us, never.
My treasured Angel son
You’re now forever young

Memories linger
Tuesday 2nd May
Memories linger
And I’m glad they do
For that’s all that’s left
My Angel, of you.

Colourful new flowers for you today

We’re not really ever apart
Monday 1st May
The brightest star
In the sky tonight
That’s you, my Angel
Shining so bright.
The colourful bloom
In the flower bed
You’d grow the tallest
Sunflower, you said.
The fluffy, white clouds
Blowing in the sky
I know where you are
Right up there, on high.
Missing you like there’s no tomorrow
Loving you with all my heart
Thinking about you always
We’re not really ever apart.

Love you both
Sunday 30th April
Last night we collected you brother from the local airport: he flew in from Portugal, to stay with us for a week, and to attend a school pal’s wedding. It will be good to have him around for a while.
Wish it was as easy to collect you from heaven, so that you could spend time with all of us; all of us together again.
I wish. I hope. I dream.
And so it is with every breath I take in, with each heartbeat, for as long as I am alive, you will never be forgotten.
My two boys. One on earth. One in heaven.
Love you both, to the moon and back.

You’re now in heaven
Saturday 29th April
Remembering times
Of love and laughter
You’re now in heaven
We’ll follow after.
An Angel set free
From those mortal chains
You’re now in heaven
But your soul remains.
You meant so much
To many people
You’re now in heaven
Living the sequel.
Love you forever
Missing you always
Treasured Angel son

You don’t see
Friday 28th April
My darling little Angel boy
A child who brought us so much joy
Missing you more than words can say
My heart loves you more each day
As you fly high, a star so bright
Lighting up the dark sky at night
I think about the memories
Adventures and discoveries
On the outside I seem carefree
But inside my head, you don’t see.
Love you to the moon and back
Round the houses and all the world.

Each evening
Thursday 27th April
Each evening I say ‘Goodnight’
To your happy, smiling face
The photograph next to me
Full of memories I embrace.
Each evening I dream of you
Rememb’ring all the good times
With so much fun and laughter
To heaven my Angel climbs.
Each evening I halt the tears
But in the dark, none can see
I do try so very hard
To wish you were here with me.
Loved you then
Love you still
Always have
Always will.
Sweetheart Angel son.

Wednesday 26th April
It’s been seven hundred
And seventy seven days
Since I’ve heard your voice
Or seen your smiling gaze.
We miss you every day
Our darling Angel son
Love you more and more
Now you’re forever young.
Seven, seven, seven
Days you’ve been in heaven.
