Sunday 25th August

.

Holding your hand

Just felt so grand

Toes in warm sand

Bodies quite tanned

In waves we stand

Yet gone, unplanned

Off to dreamland

.

Missing you poppet

Remembered with love

My darling Angel son

Much cloudier today

Still warm for the beach goers

A young seagull on the lookout for an opportunistic ice cream or pasty

Outgoing tide in the harbour

Saturday 24th August

.

It’s not fair

Empty chair

My nightmare

I declare

You’re elsewhere

Deep despair

You take care

Baby bear

.

Sweetheart Angel son

Now forever young

Another busy day

Porthmeor Beach

Again, quieter at West Porthmeor

Central seems far too crowded

Good waves today

Sunny corner of the harbour

Looking towards Porthminster Beach

Smeaton’s Pier

Friday 23rd August

.

I wonder where you’d be right now

(Though I do know where you are)

I wonder who you’d become

So near, yet so very far

.

Love you

Miss you

Never forget you

Darling Angel son

A lovely afternoon

Everyone else thought so too 🤔

Beautiful blue

Looking for the perfect wave

The harbour

Thursday 22nd August

.

Missing you sweetie

Wish you were here

If I close my eyes

I’ll pretend you’re near

.

Beloved Angel son

Carrick Roads this morning

Falmouth

Later on this evening at Porthmeor

Still warm, with the smell of barbecues wafting along the breeze

A few more waves to catch

Dusk over the harbour

Wednesday 21st August

.

I will

Just breathe

I will

Just exhale

I will

Just remember

I will

Never forget

.

My precious Angel son

Building up to the Bank Holiday

Lots of space over at West

But it does need to warm up a little

Not so many walking down to the sea

Tuesday 20th August

.

Sometimes I think

The tears won’t cease

Sometimes I think

You are at peace

.

Sometimes I know

My heart is broken

Sometimes I know

So much unspoken

.

Sometimes I see

Your face in the crowds

Sometimes I see

Your wings in clouds

.

Sometimes I hear

Your voice on the breeze

Sometimes I hear

Sweet words such as these

.

Sometimes I hold

Your tiny soft hand

Sometimes I hold

Those memories, grand

.

Sometimes I want

To see you again

Sometimes I want

Just wish I knew when

.

Love you so much

Darling Angel son

So busy again on Porthmeor

Kitty’s Corner was crowded too

Low tide

Monday 19th August

.

Moments we didn’t have

Memories that weren’t made

A future not realised

Adventures now delayed

.

Until I see you again

My precious Angel son

A bright twinkling star

Now forever young

.

Sunday 18th August

.

I’ll always think of you

That way, you’ll never be gone

I’ll always speak of you

To be smiling at a new dawn

.

I’ll always remember you

So you’ll stay in my memory

I’ll always love you

And in my heart you’ll be

.

Missing you like crazy

Thinking of you daily

My darling Angel baby

High flying, pain free

.

Another busy afternoon for the lifeguards

Large, low clouds loom overhead

A sunny break in the weather

In between very heavy showers

It did stay dry later in the afternoon

Saturday 17th August

.

Gone from my arms

But placed in my heart

I cannot hold you

But we’re never apart

.

Love you poppet

Darling Angel son

A few cirrus clouds, high in the sky, over Porthmeor

Red flagged at the Island end

Colourful windbreaks and tents

Pretty cirrus wisps above the harbour

Low tide

Friday 16th August

.

Every treasured memory

Leaves a window to a story

Upon opening and falling in

I find them so very precious to me

.

Love you sweetie pie

My darling Angel son

So many wonderful memories

So much laughter and fun

.

Mornington, Victoria was where we lived for two years.
