Between the first Hello
And the very last Goodbye
Was so much love
Now your soul does fly

Love you so much

Clear blue skies

Standard
Tuesday 24th January 

Clear blue skies
All day long
Crisp, cold air
Seabirds throng
Finding food
For a song
Sing it loud
Shrill and strong

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Low tide at Porthmeor Beach
Smeaton’s Pier
Kitty’s Corner
Turnstones and a herring gull
The view of the harbour with afternoon coffee

Who I am

Standard
Monday 23rd January 

Who I am
Is where I've been
Time for travel
Maps to unravel
And if I don't go
I'll never know
And so I'll explore
Keep discovering more
Filled with trepidation
But such a temptation

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured Mum

I’m waiting

Standard
Sunday 22nd January 

I'm waiting
For things to get better
I know
It won't rain forever
I'm trying
To feel happier than ever
I hope
We'll all be together

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Blue skies and sunshine

Standard
Saturday 21st January 

Blue skies and sunshine
But pinched-cheek, raw cold
Wind-watery eyes
Icy hands to hold
An afternoon stroll
Healthy, I've been told

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Porthmeor Beach
Quite a few surfers in the water
So very cold
Long shadows over the sand
Choppy in the harbour

The long run

Standard
Friday 20th January 

Walking away
But holding on
Moving forward
But not being done
Memories remain
Here for the long run

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved Mum

Marshmallow clouds
Quilted heavens
Cottonwool puffs
Mackerel sky

Being me

Standard
Thursday 19th January 

I'm just being me
Trying to be happy
And smiling easily
Where troubles fly free

And yet I can see
Not all is as it should be
Although I agree
Change is up to me

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Happy heavenly birthday

Standard
Wednesday 18th January 

Happy heavenly birthday
You'd be thirty eight years old
Loved and missed so very much
With so many stories told

Clutching all those memories close
They're worth their weight in gold
Around the world adventures
We watched the wonders unfold

Now above us, looking down
As stars shimmer and behold
You're flying free with Angels
Yet we still miss you tenfold

Some days now filled with sadness
When the world seems grey and cold
But the days full of laughter
Then onto the fun, we hold

.

No matter how long
As memories replay
It will always feel
Like yesterday


Love you so much
Precious Angel son
Now forever young

Snow

Standard
Tuesday 17th January 

That crisp white snow
Bedazzling in the sun
Dusting the landscape
Fondant icing spun
Blanketing the fields
A smile on everyone

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Sunny St Ives this morning
Up the A30 towards Camborne
Four Lanes
St Ives in the background
A beautiful landscape
Snow covered branches
Fluffy white clouds and sugary fine snow
A happy looking snowman!
Such a wintery scene

Never

Standard
Monday 16th January 

Never
Not thinking about you
Never
Not wondering about you

Always
Feeling you close by
Always
Sensing you nearby

No longer
Laughing with you
No longer
Smiling at you

Constantly
Missing your presence
Constantly
Touching your absence

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Rough seas and a glimpse of a rainbow this morning
