Monday 11th June

Wish you were here
My Angel, my dear
I think you’re near
To fill me with cheer
Walking down the pier
The sea’s crystal clear
Don’t disappear
As your wings do veer
Through clouds you steer
No need for fear
Our love’s sincere
.
Love you sweetheart
Darling Angel son

Sunny, calm and warm in the harbour

Not much surf on Porthmeor Beach

Blue sea, blue sky

The lighthouse on Smeaton’s Pier

Sunday 10th June
.
I’ll never forget you
Speaking your name
Remembering that smile
And all you became
.
I’ll always treasure
Everything you said
Your funny little sayings
And the joy you’d spread
.
Love you baby
Missing you like crazy
Precious Angel son
Now forever young

Porthmeor Beach

Harbour Beach

Islamorada, The Keys, January 1st 2007

Saturday 9th June
.
Met a long lost relative last night
Digging around with family history
Facebook is great for reaching out
And then adding to our life’s story
.
We share a great, great grandfather
Master mariner, sailing the seas
Fourteen years, penal servitude
Pirate and smuggler, if you please
.
Another young man, aged just nineteen
Sailed on the ill-fated Titanic
On the 15th of April, 1912
He drowned in the middle of the Atlantic
.
Searching genealogy records
So many more ancestors to find
Fascinating, yet time consuming
A worthy task to engage the mind
.
Think you would have been excited
Having a pirate in the family
That would have piqued your interest
As you wove a fairytale fantasy
.
I do miss you so much
Darling Angel son

Nearer my God to thee,
Nearer to thee.



Not really a Bad Pirate (North Myrtle Beach, SC)

Sailor of the high seas, (Tobago, 2002)

An ancestor of mine, who went down with the Titanic. “Nearer my God to thee. Nearer to thee.”

My great, great grandfather. Master Mariner

Smuggler, pirate, and destroyer of ships. Given fourteen years; a heavy sentence

Friday 8th June
.
You’re close to me, my darling
I know, because I sense your presence
You’re with me always, sweetie
Because I acknowledge your existence
You’re there, deep within my heart
Loudly beating with a perfect silence
You will always be by my side
My Angel flying through the heavens
.
Love you to the moon and back

The harbour this afternoon

Grey and muggy

Two visiting bilge keel yachts

Thursday 7th June
.
My son. My Angel. My boy.
Love you. Miss you. Thinking of you.
In my head. In my mind. In my heart.
I live on. Whilst you are gone.
Keeping your memories alive.
Loved you then
Love you still
Always have
Always will

Holy Trinity Church at Tresillian

Wednesday 6th June
.
Watching all the goings on
Whilst sitting above the sand
Holidaymakers on the beach
Jumping waves, hand in hand
.
Pleasure boats go back and forth
Tourists hoping to see the seals
Perhaps some jumping dolphins
Performing to delighted squeals
.
We took you on one of those boats
Along with auntie and cousin
Journeying around Seal Island
We saw more than half a dozen
.
A happy and sunny day trip
With lots of laughter and fun
Wish we’d had more adventures
My dearest, darling Angel son
.
Missing you
Love you forever

Porthgwidden Beach this afternoon

One of the pleasure boats returning from Seal Island today

Closely followed by two more

One of the seals we saw, when we took you to Seal Island, about fifteen years ago

Sitting on the boat, with such a cheeky smile

Tuesday 5th June
.
Involuntarily
I move forward
Unwillingly
I continue
Achingly
I still breathe
Agonisingly
My heart beats
Powerlessly
I’m here
Helplessly
I continue
Painfully
I live
.
And I remember
And I share
And I smile
All because of you
.
My beloved Angel son
Fly high precious starman

Mist rolling into the harbour

Monday 4th June
.
Living on this side of heaven
Is something I’d not thought about
Our happy family all together
No worries, no problems, no doubt
.
I just imagined you’d be here
Living life, and having fun
Making plans and memories
Many more holidays in the sun
.
But then, so unexpectedly
I have to deal with your absence
And heaven becomes a place for you
Whilst my world is filled with silence
.
Love you forever
Darling Angel son

A warm morning in St. Ives

High tide, little wind, no waves

Sunday 3rd June
.
Far and away up high
In the big, blue sky
My Angel does fly
.
Looking up, I sigh
Always asking why
Tears fall from my eye
.
Dreaming you’re nearby
Trying not to cry
Darling sweetie pie
.
Treasured Angel son
