Friday 13th March
.
Waking up in the morning
The day after the night before
The cold, harsh reality
You won’t be here any more
.
Broken hearts, suspended lives
And every morning’s the same
No more of your cheeky laughter
Left with a lifetime of silent pain
.
But amongst the many pages
Of your journey upon this earth
So many beautiful memories
A treasure of priceless worth
.
Love you forever
My darling Angel son

Thursday 12th March
.
On that Thursday
Five years ago
You breathed your last
We miss you so
.
We weren’t ready
To see you fly
Those wings you grew
Without goodbye
.
That you’re not here
It doesn’t become
Any easier
Still shocked and numb
.
Has it really been
Five long years?
So much time
So many tears
.
And no matter how long
As memories replay
It will always feel
Like yesterday
.
Love and miss you Frank
Darling Angel son
Sending kisses to you
Now forever young

Frankie Angel Bear and Pink Frankie Bear, looking out over Mount’s Bay
St Michael’s Mount
Blue skies over Porthmeor Beach
Cold and breezy, with a rough sea over the Reef
Wednesday 11th March
.
It’s soon
The morning
That follows
Tonight
.
And I miss you so
Dearest Angel son

Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Blue skies for a while
A sunny harbour
Tuesday 10th March
.
Keeping busy
Finding things to do
Keeping occupied
But still think of you
.
Diverting panic
Immersed in pastimes new
Absorbed in routines
I’ll always think of you
.
Always persevering
Distracted by skies so blue
Trying relaxation
I’ll forever think of you
.
My darling Angel son

Monday 9th March
.
After a quick check-up
We’re back from hospital
A colonoscopy soon
Being philosophical
Polyp to be removed
Practical and logical
A bit uncomfortable
Not mission impossible
.
Thinking of you
Beloved Angel son
xxxxx
Very high tide today
Surfers making the most of the waves
Sunday 8th March
.
Off to Exeter again
Check-up appointment tomorrow
The colorectal surgeon
Shall I wear a mask: yes or no?
.
Devon’s the country’s hotspot
Stay away from coughs and sneezes
Just sensible handwashing
Then I won’t catch any diseases
.
Thinking of you
Beloved Angel son
xxxxx
A walk along the side of the canal
The River Exe
Watching the swans
Sparkling water
Saturday 7th March
.
All your memories
Locked in my heart forever
Replaying, replaying
I’ll never forget, never
.
Love you so much
Darling Angel son

A kiss from you x
Pretty Porthmeor Beach this afternoon
Walkers and surfers enjoying themselves
Quite calm on the harbour
The Arches
High tide
Friday 6th March
.
I love you
Wish things had been different
I miss you
Wish things had been normal
I think of you
Wish there was a cure
.

Thursday 5th March
.
And I know
I won’t see you
Not just yet awhile
But until I do
Remembering
All we went through
A life well lived
With a love so true
.
Thinking of you sweetheart
Beloved Angel son

St Ives from Lambeth Walk
Fluffy clouds overhead
Bright and breezy
An outgoing tide
Looking towards Pedn Olva
Wednesday 4th March
.
Remembering you always
Your soul with us, stays
Gone for far too many days
Sweet head upon the cloud, lays
My eyes to heaven raise
.
Thinking of you poppet
Beloved Angel son
