It's Christmas number seven
That you've now spent in Heaven

The pain is still so real
I just hide how I feel

Remembering the fun
At Christmastime, son

Beautiful memories
Wonderful stories

Fortunate and glad

Our darling son, Frank
We've so much to thank

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

Love you both so much
Forever and always

The setting for lunch today with my sister and niece, overlooking Carbis Bay beach
Elaborate chandelier
Salmon and crab roulade, turkey with all the trimmings, and a delightful dessert of berry crème brûlée, clotted cream, shortbread and twisted chocolate

Reaching the sunshine

I'll be reaching the sunshine
By walking through the shadows

I smile at the thought of you
With love, my heart overflows
