Saturday 19th May
.
Can my heart be unbroken?
Will the pain be eased?
When do the tears stop flowing?
Grief: the interminable disease
.
I love you sweetheart

Porthmeor Beach this evening at 7pm, still warm and sunny
Surf life saving nippers first get-together of the year
The harbour still bathed in sunshine
Friday 18th May
.
Heaven took my son
Made him an angel
The hurt in my heart
Still so very painful
.
So unexpectedly
You left the family
Living without you
Our new reality
.
But you did give us
So much to remember
A beautiful life
Of time spent together
.
Missing you always
Forget you never
Darling Angel son
Love you forever

Hazy sunshine this morning over the harbour
Thursday 17th May
.
I will always find you
When I look up to the sky
Beyond the wispy clouds
That’s where I know you fly
.
At night you lay your head
Upon a white, fluffy pillow
With stars twinkling overhead
As the breeze begins to billow
.
My darling Angel soaring high
My perfect little Starman
Do you see me looking for you?
Give me a sign when you can
.
Love you poppet
Sweetheart son

Wednesday 16th May
.
No words
Just memories
No smiles
Only photographs
No laughter
Just love

My sweetheart

Ripples left in the sand by the north westerly winds
Steely grey sea in the harbour
Tuesday 15th May
.
To Exeter hospital
Matching underwear day
The clinical drugs trial
Appointments underway
.
Dermatology for skin
Blood and obs with my nurse
Then it’s time for a break
From the medical universe
.
Then upstairs to x-ray
CT scan with contrast
Back and forth through the tunnel
It’s all over at long last
.
And the final stop will be
With my oncologist
Scanxiety sets in
Have to be an optimist
.
Now a long two week wait
For the consultant’s report
Just hoping all will be well
The days don’t turn out too fraught
.
Thinking of you my darling
Wishing you were with me
Wishing things had been different
That you, a survivor would be
.

Monday 14th May
.
Gift of an angel
Of that I know
Far too soon
You had to go
.
Angel of mine
Precious and true
Unwanted gift
Rather have you
.
Beloved son

Porthmeor blue
Harbour reflections
Cloudy horizon
Seal Island boat
Glassy sea
Sunday 13th May
.
You’re in my heart
Not in my arms
Memories
Dull pain calms
.
You’re in my mind
Not here with me
Memories
So carefree
.
You’re in my soul
And there you’ll stay
Memories
Love convey
.
Love you
Miss you

Calm harbour this afternoon
Cooler on Porthmeor Beach
Saturday 12th May
.
Dark clouds gathering in the sky
People trudging across the sand
Food festival on the beach
Fish and chips, with beer in hand
.
Colourful flags fluttering
Music playing from the marquee
Bouncy castles and carousels
With much entertainment to see
.
I’m sure you were wandering too
Tasting and sampling all the food
Tacos, nachos and lemonade
Also sausages barbecued
.
Love you sweetheart
Missing you like crazy
Thinking of you daily
My darling Angel baby
.

The annual Food Festival
On Porthminster Beach
Drawing a good crowd
Dark clouds and silver sea in the harbour
Lambeth Walk waves
Friday 11th May
.
Brokenhearted
Missing piece
Can’t be mended
Pain won’t cease
.
Melancholic
Hard to break free
Big black cloud
Following me
.
Need your smile
Exuberance
Brighten my day
A loving glance
.
Darling Angel
Soars high tonight
Above us mortals
Star shining bright
.

Me and my Angel, April 2010
Thursday 10th May
.
Smiling into the blue
Such a beautiful hue
Whilst thinking of you
Wispy clouds blow through
My heart beats anew
With a love so true
.
Missing you every moment
Loving you always
Dearest Angel son

Sheltered in the harbour
A strong on-shore breeze
Most of the beach was red-flagged ~ probably strong rip currents
The Journey of My Left Foot (whilst remembering my son)
