Panic attacks

Standard
Friday 16th December 

Panic attacks
Emotions to max
Just can't relax
The mirror cracks

Total collapse
The pain, it smacks
Tearstains wet tracks
Calm down, perhaps

Watch time elapse
A parallax
Can't change the facts
Hard falls the axe

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Calm and cold this morning

My head is a mess

Standard
Thursday 15th December 

My head is a mess
It's so filled with stress
It'll fade, I guess
There's much distress
I ought to assess
Try not to digress
Need to decompress
A little progress
And I'll find success
Work through the process
It's hard nonetheless

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved Mum

Bristol

Standard
Wednesday 14th December 

A drive to Bristol today
Taking Luke to the airport
Back to Faro tomorrow
The visit was quite short
It was so good to see him
But soon we'll need our passport!

Love you so much
Treasured sons

Bodmin Moor
Snow covered fields
Down to – 3°C
The snow was still there when we drove back this evening

Goodbye

Standard
Tuesday 13th December 

Today we said goodbye
To our beloved Mum
A respectful service
Memories, and then some

Until we're together
We'll be with you wherever
Love you mum forever
Memories to treasure

Baby steps

Standard
Monday 12th December 

Baby steps
What comes next?
Quite complex
After effects
Tick box checks
That protects
Some objects
Pay respects

Love you so much
Precious sons

Along the harbour front

Putting pain behind

Standard
Sunday 11th December 

It's so complicated
But I'm striving to find
Peace and calm within
With everything aligned
Composing oneself
Putting pain behind

Love you so much

Hayle River, low tide
Looking across to the golf links, and Porthkidney Sands

All together

Standard
Saturday 10th December 

All together
As a family
Walking around
Quite happily

Love you so much
Treasured sons

A quiet Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Bamaluz Beach
The rampers….. Remains of the old pier
Standing at the end of Smeaton’s Pier, looking back towards the town
Low tide in the harbour
Lighthouse on Smeaton’s Pier
Large cumulonimbus clouds
Rusty red clouds reflecting on the sea

And off we go

Standard
Friday 9th December 

And off we go to Bristol
To collect younger son
Flying in from Faro
Colder weather's not fun!

Love you so much
Treasured sons
Beloved mum

Very early morning sun peeking through the trees
Lighting up the uppermost branches
Luke and Talita
On the way home, with the sun in our eyes
A golden glow
Market Place in St Ives
Fore Street

Rainbow

Standard
Thursday 8th December 

A rainbow in the morning
Returns again this evening
Shining brightly adorning
Jewelled colours performing

Love you so much
Beloved sons
Treasured mum

Soon after sunrise, a rainbow prism appears
Later on this afternoon, in almost the same place, rainbow colours beneath rolling clouds

Dreams can come true

Standard
Wednesday 7th December 

Nothing to do
But continue
Feel a bit blue
Quite lonely too

Need pastures new
A different view
With hurdles few
Dreams can come true

Love you so much
Precious sons
Beloved mum

Clear, bright and bitterly cold this morning
