Thursday 27th January 

Those impossibilities 
Turned around with 
Responsibilities 
No, not a myth

Love you both so much

Wednesday 26th January 

Slowing down 
Noticing more 
Taking time 
More than before 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Tuesday 25th January 

So much 
Is not permanent 
Circumstance 
A determinant 
Life's path 
Fragile firmament 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons

Monday 24th January 

Freedom to have adventures 
Not sit with the backbenchers 
Decide to get up and go 
Away from the routine flow 

Love you both so much 
Precious sons 
xxxxx 

Sunday 23rd January 

Breathing in the gloomy mist 
Absorbing all that greyness 
Seemingly innocuous 
World-weary everydayness 

Love you both so much 
My darling sons 
xxxxx 

Saturday 22nd January 

Out meandering 
Thoughts gathering 
Whilst capturing 
Dogs scampering 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons 
xxxxx 

Friday 21st January 

The warm glow of the sun 
Belies the sharp twinge 
Of frost in the air 
Crisply creeping in 

Love you both so much 
Beloved sons

Thursday 20th January 

The thing 
That I thought 
Was a thing 
Is not 
A thing 
It's a nothing 

(The hospital news 
Following my scans 
And those blood tests 
Mean I can make plans 
Big sighs of relief 
A clapping of hands) 

Love you both so much 
Treasured sons 
xxxxx 

Wednesday 19th January 

A crack in the clouds 
Let some light through 
A dancing sunbeam 
That I knew was you 

I saw this yesterday 
The day of your birthday 
A celestial ray 
As if you'd come to play 


Love you both so much 
Precious sons

Tuesday 18th January 

Thirty seven years old 
That's what you'd be today 
But cancer and the angels 
Took your sweet life away 

The adventures yet to have 
So much more to live forn
Who really, really knows 
What would've been in store? 

Holidays and travelling 
You loved the preparation 
Wanting the itinerary 
For each and every vacation 

Happiness and laughter 
Fun and games were had by all 
But so unexpectedly 
You answered Heaven's call 

Seven birthdays we've now missed 
Sharing the good times with you 
Above clouds is where you fly 
Across the endless skies of blue 

Sending love and hugs your way 
As we think of you with love 
Happiest of birthdays my darling 
Hope you're partying up above 


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

Thinking of you daily 
And loving you greatly 
Missing you like crazy 
My darling Angel baby
