A rainy day
Time to relax
Love you so much
To the moon and back

Sunday 27th August
Nine hundred days an angel
Nine hundred days since I saw your face
Nine hundred days without your voice
Nine hundred days just a lonely space
Nine hundred nights knowing you’re gone
Nine hundred nights of asking ‘Why?’
Nine hundred nights sobbing silently
Nine hundred nights thinking it’s a lie
It seems like yesterday
It seems so long ago
It seems so unreal
It seems you’ll have no tomorrow
Love you now
Love you still
Always have
Always will

Saturday 26th August
A sparkling sea, like a thousand tiny jewels
All twinkling in the early morning light
Wave upon wave of shining diamonds
You’re telling me you still shine as bright
But I’m missing your sparkle
My sweet Angel son
The twinkle you had
Now forever young

Friday 25th August
I don’t understand why
But I do know he’s here
Safely tucked inside my heart
I try hard not to shed a tear
Recalling all the memories
I know he’ll never truly disappear
If I close my eyes and wish a while
I think I feel him standing near
My darling Angel son
Love you to the moon and back

Thursday 24th August
I think I see you in a group of people
Just wish for you there was a sequel
I search for you as the clouds roll by
Just wish you weren’t a star in the sky
I imagined I felt your hand in mine
Just wish that I could go back in time
I thought I heard your voice and laughter
Just wish you had a happy ever after
Love you sweetheart
Beloved Angel son

Wednesday 23rd August
Sitting on the beach this afternoon
Watching all the youngsters playing
I thought about what you’d be doing
Walking, reading a book or swimming
You kept yourself happy and laughing
So, so many reminders
Of what you might have been
My darling Angel son

Tuesday 22nd August
We went walking along the sand
I imagined I held your hand
The waves were whispering your name
And I was doing just the same
So you painted the sky tonight
Such beautiful colours so bright
To watch sunsets is what I love
You sent one to me from above
Love you my darling Angel son
You’ll always be forever young

Monday 21st August
So, the Solar Eclipse happened today, and we thought we were going to be best placed for an almost perfect viewpoint. On the path of 99% totality, surely we would see the eclipse, it would go dark, silent, with birds flying off to roost?
But oh no……..The morning began with a thunderstorm, perhaps a sign of things to come, that all was not well. However, the clouds cleared away, and by 8:30am we had placed our beach chairs and umbrella on the sand, ready for a front row viewing spot.
At midday we were on the beach, expectant, phones and cameras at the ready. We had a quick swim in the ocean, and then settled down for the impending show in the skies.
The dark clouds were building both east and west of us, moving closer and closer together, finally colluding to obscure the sun and therefore the path of the moon in front of it.
Daylight was not diminished, it did not go dark, the atmosphere wasn’t rendered silent and heavy. It went rather gloomy, as if we were sitting beneath heavy, dark clouds, and then it brightened, and finally the sun made an appearance.
So, unless you’re in the path of 100% totality, you will not experience darkness ~ even if only for two minutes or so.
100%. All or nothing. No half measures.
The evening did end though, with the most spectacular sunset. Such beautiful colours, with a shadow sunburst, making fabulous rays up to the heavens.
Was that you, ending the day in such a amazing show of colour?
Love you sweetie
Darling Angel son

Sunday 20th August
Watching the world go by
At the clouds in the blue sky
People wand’ring nearby
You’re there in my mind’s eye
An Angel soaring on high
Thoughts of you come with a sigh
Miss you sweetie, that’s no lie
So many questions start with ‘Why?’
Now on mem’ries to rely
You’re not here, so why am I?
My Angel son
Forever young

Saturday 19th August
Thunder crashing
Lightning flashing
Storm approaching
Dark clouds encroaching
Soon it ended
After rain descended
Sunshine splendid
Walking contented
Thinking of you, as always
Precious Angel son
