Wednesday 9th November 

It's another year 
And scan time's here 
Clinical trial 
Different lifestyle 

Nurse so caring 
Always sharing 
Fears to dispel 
Inner thoughts dwell 

Uncertainty 
Hangs heavily 
Settling in 
Mind tailspin 

What works for one 
Not everyone 
Hope for the best 
With every test 

Waiting for results 
Quickening pulse 
Scary and tense 
Worry's immense 

So, vigilance 
And surveillance 
A sneaky beast 
Heed changes at least 

Melanoma 
Melanoia 
Scanxiety 
Anxiety 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Tuesday 8th November 

Sunshine and showers 
Rainbows and thunder 
Changeable weather 
Beauty and wonder 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons 
xxxxx 

Monday 7th November 

Hoping for a better day 
Make rain and grey go away 
Turn up the music, dance and play 
Then happiness might come to stay 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons

Sunday 6th November 

Imagination 
Transported elsewhere 
Visualisation 
No need for an airfare 

Stargazing
Close your eyes if you dare 
Daydreaming 
Swiftly takes me there 

Creativity
So many stories to share 
And fantasy 
From experience, I declare 

Ingenuity 
Creating adventures everywhere 
Mental agility 
In my mind, I'll be there 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Saturday 5th November 

Magic Freedom Adventure 
From chaos and confusion 

To calm composure and clarity 
Shaken free from any delusion 

Ably facing the world head-on 
Whilst finding a solution 

Plus a route to reality
Towards a happy conclusion 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Friday 4th November 

Doing what makes you happy... 
So easy to say 
So hard to do 
Face the day 
Know that it's true

You know what should be done... 
Try to let go 
Quietly move on 
It hurts though 
Don't dwell upon 

Have done with chasing answers... 
Accept what was 
Graciously 
Because, because 
Love faithfully 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Thursday 3rd November 

Lost in the chaos 
A little disoriented 
Darkness descends 
Nightmares demented 
Shutting them out 
Turbulence prevented 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Wednesday 2nd November 

Throughout the day 
The incessant rain 
Like depressing tears 
Down a window pane 
Colourless skies 
Dampening stain 
Heavy-hearted clouds 
Slipping down the drain 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons 
xxxxx 

Tuesday 1st November 

Sister's birthday 
She's sixty one 
Family photos 
Life's full of fun 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Monday 31st October 

Holding hands 
Voices heard 
Words spoken 
But vision blurred 

Smiles exchanged 
Presence of touch 
Falling tears 
Loved so much 

There's no control 
Of how this goes 
Confusion blurs 
No one knows 

Dementia's path 
Cruel to see 
A mind so lost 
Still mum, to me 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons 
xxxxx
