Nine hundred

Standard

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

  

Darling Angel son

Sparkling

Standard

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

Sparkly waves break over the sand this morning

Near

Standard

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

The beach chairs and umbrellas are set out by 7:30am

Quiet, gentle waves lap the shore in the early morning light 

Pretty sunset to end the day

Sugar pink colours over the sea this evening

Just wish

Standard

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

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

Another beautiful morning

A quiet spot on the beach

Lots of factor 50 and a large sunhat

Thinking of you sweetie

Along the sand

Standard

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

A beautiful morning again

Palm trees against the sky

The sun going down

Golden clouds

Sun beams spreading across the sky

Pink clouds over the ocean

Eclipse

Standard

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

Early morning

Following a thunderstorm

Big thunder bumpers

We’ve staked our place

8:00am, not too many people about

Grey clouds covering the sky

Beginning to brighten

Looking good so far

Clouds are building behind us

The sun has a halo

Clouds moving over the sands

Moving ever closer towards the sun

Now the sun is obscured

Is this the eclipse?

Gloomy

Gloomier

Oh, it’s becoming brighter

All over, sun’s out again

The sun going down

Sending a huge shadow skyward

Golden colours

Warm rays

Golden blue

Molten lava

Stripes across the sky

Super sunset

Pretty colours over the ocean, too

Pink candyfloss

Watching

Standard

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

Lightning flashing

Storm approaching

Dark clouds encroaching

  

Soon it ended

After rain descended

Sunshine splendid

Walking contented

 

Thinking of you, as always

The start to a pretty afternoon….

Enjoying the summer sunshine….

The sun has gone…..

Dark clouds approaching…

Everyone out of the sea….

Thunder, lightning, lashings of rain…..

Beginning to brighten….

Blue sky making an appearance…

Off for a walk along the beach….

Warm sunshine at six o’clock….

Still dark and stormy looking north….
